St Kap 1(F)/120

[Chris Goss]

The banner is 1000th for 1/120 (with the antlers in the middle of it). If he had left 1/120 in 1942, he was back in Nov 43 and then with 2/123 in Jan 44

Hi Chris;

Here is part of the units history as I have it:
(I met Hugo Löhr here in Reykjavik in about 1990)

Commanding officer was Oblt. Hugo Löhr from December 1942 to July 1943. The unit flew its 2,000 operational flight on 05.05.1943. Then it had flown 7.000 hrs, 2.700.000 km or 68 trips around the world. It had made 71 attacks on land targets while on Armed Recce missions. It had claimed destroyed 27 ships of around 65.000 BRT, including three warships. It had claimed damaged 16 ships of around 29.000 BRT, including two warships. It had dropped 500 tons of bombs by then.

cheers
