Mission of KGr. 806 on the 21.9.1940
Hi all,
For their mission against England on the 21.9.1940 at least two man of KGr. 806 were honored with the Honor Goblet (Ehrenpokal) on the 4th of November 1940, Fw. Helmuth Krüger and Fw. Gerhard Strube (1. Staffel). It is known that the later also received the EKII and EKI on the 21.9.1940. I found a loss on the same date for a 1./KGr. 806 crew, Lt. Günther Grunwald (FF) and crew because PoW’s after their Ju88 (Wrkn. 3079, M7+CH) was shot down by AA on a mission against Birmingham. My question, in what mission were Krüger and Strube (same crew?) involved on that date? Their bombing must have been a great success for receiving so many medals/awards. Did they attack important industry in Birmingham? Kind regards, Thomas
