13th May 1940 He 111 of 1./KG 4

[Larry Hickey]

Bas,

Thanx for the translation. W.Nr.2166 is a valid W.Nr. for an He111P, so it is likely that this is the correct W.Nr. for 5J+CH, whose crash site we have very precisely pinpointed on maps.

Regarding the W.Nr.2909 issue, remember that this a/c came down intact and was almost certainly shipped back to Germany for repair. A FL a/c often had a second history after an initial FL. I'm trying to confirm through the WASt that a Paul Bargykowski was a member of 1./KG4 during this period and what his rank was. If he was with 1./KG4, that almost certainly nails some additional detail on this one. I'd like to know the rest of the crew names, but that will take some real luck.

Still mystified by the identity of the He111 to which W.Nr.2912 was assigned. More research required there.

Your efforts have been much appreciated.
