IV./KG26 collision at Leba - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

Dave Somerset · #1 11th April 2019, 12:23

Please could somebody help me with the details of a mid-air collision in Leba, Pomerania on 20 or 26 October 1942? Two aircraft are believed to have been involved from IV./KG26 and one of them was an He 111 H-5 coded 1H+EV. I’ve found two officers, viz Oblt Georg Linge and Oblt Gerhard Salecker, plus probably four other crew members all killed. There may also have been others wounded or survived. I want the aircraft ID and full crew details for each aircraft. Does anybody know why they collided? Many thanks.
