L.W.Radio Op. killed over England - Blitz ?

[Peter Cornwell]

I have no information to confirm any involvement by Spitfires of No.19 Squadron - in fact, I doubt it. And, to the best of my knowledge, HUBER still remains 'missing'.

5./KG2 Dornier Do17Z-3 (2304). Shot down by fighters and crashed in the Channel during sortie to attack Victoria Docks in London 2.55 p.m. FF Uffz Gerhard Böhme killed, BF Uffz Georg Huber, BO Uffz Erich Möbius, and BS Gefr Frans Irg all missing. Aircraft U5+HN 100% write-off.
The body of Gerhard Böhme was later washed ashore on the French coast.
