Hi Matti, thanks for the information on Fullgrabe. Thats one loss that ive missed over the years. Is it possible to translate the cause of loss?

Rgs,
Steve.

I think it means "crashed during turn after takeoff, probably due to being blinded by the sun. Aircraft burned."

Steve,

From Kaiser:

"In 1938 he transferred to bombers and was assigned to the KG 26 headquarters flight at Lüneburg. Hildebrand flew his first combat missions over Poland..."
When the unit returned to Northern Germany it flew armed reconnaissance over the North Sea.

Chuck
