Re: Hptm Helmut Heisig
Brian: Thanks again (as always). I have Heisig's record of service and it says he was wounded/injured 15 Feb 42 but no mention of 25 Mar 43 (by which time he should have been promoted to Oblt). Whilst I am at it, do you have page 2 of the NVM for II/SKG 10 for 16-17 Apr 43 and what does it say about Anrascheck?
Thanks for your kind comments-I am in the process of writing about night Jabos over the Western Front from Apr 43 to end which has to be with the publisher by April. I hope also to be doing a book called 'Destroying the Axis' using 100s of camera gun shots I have inherited and possibly editing a RFC book for the end of the year. Oh, and apparently 'Flypast' want me to do more articles so 2008 could be a busy one for me !

Re: Hptm Helmut Heisig
Chris see my correction 25-2-1942 is right for the incident when Heisig was wounded i.e. same as the date for the loss of von Wertern ( sorry about that I blame the Christmas wine ). The report on the Luft. Q.M's returns for 27-2-1942 does not mention the other crewmen so they must have been unwounded. I am sorry but I only have NVM's for SKG/10 for the Steinbock attacks.
Look foward to your future publications

Re: Hptm Helmut Heisig
Jim the incident on 25-2-1942 is from the Luftwaffe QM's return of 27-2-1942 which shows Flak damage at Nelwetlay, no aircraft details or percentage damage shown ( plus KG4 book by Karl Gundelach ). The loss of Heisig with I/SKG10 is from a typewritten style NVM which gives Hpt. Helmut Heisig geb. 14-2-1920 in Bochum missing from an attack on London on 23-3-44 in Fw 190 G-3 wn 160498. This loss would appear to tie with the claim of S/L Thwaites and F/O Clemo in a Mosquito of 85 Sqd. who claimed a Fw 190 off Rye at 0012 hrs on 23/24-3-44 ,
Regards, Brian Bines
