Maybe it is Velsfjord near Fornebu?

He is not after information on Harmeling but is after finding his Ehrenpokal

Hi guys

Apologies for the late response - I have been away on business for a few weeks.

The entry in Schmittka's Flugbuch for 7th June 1940 looks like it was Velsfjord and then corrected to Eelsfjord. I also attach an image of the crashed RM+AC.

srob48 I think they would have had the ranks of Unteroffizier in October 1940.

Chris is correct - my footnote is meant to convey that I am looking for the Ehrenpokals for these men. I have their award documents.

Thanks for the help.

The Kz, U4+, for Erg.KGr.4 ,,??

I think they were hit on the outward flight as they still had the paratroopers on board when they crashed. Other photos show men in their distinctive smocks. They flew from Trondheim (headed for Narvik), crashed and were picked up by seaplanes the following day and returned to Trondheim.

Outward ??? They start at 2, nd crashed at quite 9 , it's def. on the return flight, the good thing would be to know where is exactly this Velsfjord, on Google nothing to find..

If the Elfsfjord is concerned, seated halfway from Trondheim to Narvik, island there, is a lot, ...

Thanks Remi.

Elfsfjord sounds likely. I am not sure why the paratroopers were still on board on the return trip.
