Thank you. Tinglev is in Denmark. Could it be that He 111 Wk Nr 110264 A1+GK of 2/KG 53. Uffz Herbert Juergens + 4 killed and buried 8 Jan 45 at Leck actually crashed in Northern Germany and Wk Nr 162378 coded A1+DK crashed at Tinglev on the return ? Because I have only records of one crash in Denmark on that date.

Hi Chris
One last quistion. Am I right in guessing that it does not tell exact where
Wk Nr 110264 A1+GK crashed, but it says that Wk Nr 162378 coded A1+DK crashed near Tinglev ?

For DK it says Leck but another Danish contact said Tinglev whilst GK it says Kliplev

Bjerndrup Ostermark where the aircraft crashed is right between Kliplev and Tinglev. I trust that the Danish contact is Junker, and I will discuss it with him to learn where he have got his info from.

Comclusion from Denmark: A1+GK crashed at Bjerndrup Oestermark between Tinglave and Kliplev in Denmark.
A1+DK crashed at or near Leck.

Hi guys

I have been following this thread with great interest. As Chris knows, I am interested in KG53's activities during the V-1 campaign. I understand that an aviation magazine - possibly an issue of 'Aeroplane' published in 1976 - contained an article about or by Maj Martin Vetter, the commander of KG53 at the time. Has anyone a copy of this article that I may see, please?

Cheers
Brian
