Hi Nick,

Thank you very much indeed for your Information`s ... I Think that it was now Fw Bäumler which bailed out from the Loss near Petershagen / Minden. There was no other Loss in the vicinity of Minden that Day and Reserve Hospital in Rinteln is in the Area near Minden and Petershagen.

Any Info`s about the Arado 234 from III / KG 76 ???

Thank`s for helping me !!!

Greetings streak98 (Dirk)
