Re: First Luftwaffe victory over RAF

Hello,

Does anyone know if photos exist of either of these crashed Wellingtons from this this action? I'm sure a big deal was made of this in the contemporary German press.

Regards,

1) Sept 4, this Bf109 shot down and the pilot killed while the Flak barrage was shooting at the Blenheims. Mellum was a couple of Kms north east of the Scheer. This must have been Falke/Fake
Piening, Holger: Nordseeküste im Krieg 1939-1942, S. 64, zitiert aus dem KTB Admiral Scheer für den 04.09.1939:

Quote:
"Ein eigener Jäger geriet durch falsches Verhalten in das starke Abwehfeuer des Schiffes, Abstoppen erfolglos. Flugzeug wurde abgeschossen. Leiche des Flugzeugführers (Lt. Falke) geborgen."
Greetings

Re: First Luftwaffe victory over RAF

No German city was ever 'liberated' by a Polish, or indeed any Allied unit in WW2, they were captured.
