He 111 loss 19 August 1940 (& Other losses)
During a trawl of Ultra transcripts for something entirely different I came across the following and noted them down in case it added any "new" detail. I quote it (roughly) as per transcript:
19 August 1940 "He 111 crashed 200 metres from beach and burnt out 6km SE of Les Sables D'Olonne. 6N + ND. Yellow D." This clearly refers to the KGr 100 loss that we know about, although something slighty awry with the codes seemingly. 14 August 1940 I/KG54 report four x Ju 88's missing: W.Nr's: 8084, 4098, 4084, 4083 Three crashed on landing. Over 40%: W.Nr's 4046, 4087, 2083 II/KG54 lost: W.Nr's 610?, 3117 and 6096 missing. 3119 and 3108 crashed on landing." In the case of the "610?" I would suggest this to be 6102 as I identified this to be the W.Nr of the machine downed at Swanbourne Lake, Arundel, from recovered wreckage. Lastly, at some date in early August: "Me 110 of II/ZG2 lost near Verdun. A2+DK. Crew OK" Not checked Peter Cornwell/John Vasco for the latter, but thought these little snippets might, possibly, be of value to someone (Larrry, Peter C?) before they get buried and forgotten in my note book! |
