Re: 2./ KG30 crew lost 3 February 1940
Bill,
We carry this in the revised EoE LW Loss DB as follows. The W.Nr. apparently isn't known: "3 February 1940: 2./KG30 Junkers Ju88A-1. Lost in mist over Dogger Bank after attacking a ship and experiencing defensive AA fire while en-route for anti-shipping sortie to Moray Firth 7.50 a.m. FF Hptmn Heinz-Wilhelm Rosenthal (Staffelkapitän), BO Gefr Karl-Heinz Dirks, BF Uffz Reinhold Freund, and BS Gefr Karl Nussbaum all missing. Aircraft 4D+AK 100% write-off. (KTB Seenot Nord via Junker) The two other aircraft in the formation continued and later bombed and sunk minesweeper HMS Sphinx 15 miles north of Moray Firth at 9.12 a.m. before returning to base." We may have a photo of this a/c in flight in the EoE Photo DB. Hope this helps. |
