Crashed Heinkel III in North Africa

[Doug Norrie]

Hello,
Does anyone have any loss information on Heinkel III coded '6N + GG' crashed in the Western Desert?

The aircraft is pictured on page 205 of A History of the Mediterranean Air War: Volume Two.

The 'GG' part of the code seems unusual.

Thanks,
Doug

II./KG 100 did use non-standard codes at the time, e.g. 6N+AJ (W.Nr. 7222) lost near El Alamein on the night of 26/27 September 1942.

I think the Staffel letters of the Gruppe ran G, H, J.

There's lots of examples in Jean-Louis Roba's KG 100 history, "L'escadre au Drakkar".
