Mission of KGr. 806 on the 21.9.1940

Hi Tony,

That’s correct, Jäckel will not be in the list. Also note that there is a difference between the actual awarding date and the date in the list, from up to two weeks. Every two weeks a new list was published with the recipients from the past two weeks. Last note, sometime the years can be wrong, already found some were the list gives 1942, but the goblet or Urkunde 1941.

Regards, Thomas

It would appear that 806 was busy nights of 20-21 and 21-22 Sep 40. 5 aircraft attacked London night of 20 Sep and the following night 4 attacked London and one attacked Liverpool. However, it is more likely that the lone Ju 88 which took off at 2020 hrs on 20 Sep to attack the Rootes & Co Factory at Speke was the one that could have resulted in awards for the crew

Hi Chris,

Thank you for this information, much appreciated!

Krüger received the EKI on the 28th of October 1940 and not like Strube (Bordfunker) on the 21th of September 1940.
