Blenheim Massacre over France
Gentlemen,
I'm looking for details on an action which occurred at the end of July, 1940. My uncle, Hauptmann Dr. Albrecht Ochs, was leading 9. JG 3 when they intercepted a squadron of Blenheims near Amiens. According to the caption on a photo I have, 7 Blenheims were destroyed. Back at the airfield at Desvres the squadron, including my uncle and his wingman, Leutnant Franz Achleitner, were interviewed for the Rundfunk by Kriegsberichter Waldemar Kuckuck. Then Feldmarschall Kesselring presented decorations to several members of the staffel. If anyone can provide details on this action, such as date, RAF unit involved and casualties, I would appreciate it.
