Re: The first German loss on French territory in WW II.
Hello,
Based upon the updated info on this loss, Peter Cornwell has updated this EoE LW Loss entry as follows: "20 September 1939 Western Front Amend: 3./JG53 Messerschmitt Bf109E. Shot down by Sgt Legrand of GC II/5 in combat west of Merzig and crash-landed in flames near Überherrn, south of Berus, 1.55 p.m. FF Uffz Martin Winkler rescued badly burned - died four days later. Aircraft a write-off. Came down in evacuated German territory close to the border with France."
