I have a note that Oblt Fritjof Sichart Von Sichartshoff of 2/KG 30 was shot down but that he and his crew were interned in Denmark?

[RT]

Still an other mystery, seems to hv returned at least till Denmark, where they where interned, but a loss list dated 9. of dec.40, still quote them as missing..
Nethertheless the names are

Oblt von Sichart frittjof, nice name
Ge Rothe karl
Fw Marheinecke paul
Uffz Severin josef

Remi

[RT]

Only one thing, the report quote the 3.KG30 , for these guys

Hi Chris.

There are no records in Denmark to support that they ende up here. We do have a list of all Luftwaffemembers interned until 09.04.40, and they are not in it.

I now know where the confusion is coming from. On 16 Mar 40, a Ju 88 of
3/KG 30 became lost returning from attack on Scapa Flow and crash-landed at Coebelen, Laaland, Denmark. Uffz Werner Mattner + 3 interned. Do you have a note of this incident and who the '+ 3' were

Junker: Any chance of a scan as WASt could not find this one when I asked for copies (KG 30 is incomplete as you know)
