Oberleutnant Werner Blume - 1(F)/122 dismise on 27th June 1942
Good morning to all.
I have tried, but got no joy on the MED Air War, volume 2 (https://www.amazon.com.br/History-Me.../dp/190916612X) and of RL_2_III_1182 (BAMA) to find what happened to Oberleutnant Werner Blume (formerly member of 4(F)/122) who was killed due to being apparently wounded on the 26th June 1942 at Derna. Am not sure if he was flying a Ju 88 D, in Lybia. Apparently two of his crewmembers bailed out. He is said to have been awarded with the RK posthumously on the 1st July, but he apparently died of wounds on the 3rd. So, how was that possible? Are the codes and werknummer of his machine known? What was the cause of his dismise? Are the other crewmembers' names known? Adriano |

OBS> there is a typo on the tittle of the thread (correct date: 26th June)
OBS #2: I also tried to find on dozens of pages of RL_2_III_1181. Either I passed the information and was unable to record it on my eyes, or I simply couldn't find it. OBS #3: Is there an Allied (aerial) claim for this victory? Or the loss cause may be either Flak or malfunctions (engine fire, engine failure, system failure)? A. |
