Re: JG2 losses 19/8/42

German times and no mention of Wurmheller being shot down in these records

Re: JG2 losses 19/8/42

Thanks Chris, my understanding was that Epsiger was lost on the English side of the Channel after colliding with a 'Spitfire' and was credited with this by his returning wingman.

Leo, the combat report you mention is actually one by Hptm Leie. He claimed a Spitfire at 10.50, before being shotdown himself. Ofw Wurmbeller didn't make any claims during this sortie (the only one of his five during which he didn't make one).

Regards,

Steve

JG 2 Losses 19 August 1942

Hi guys

Steve and Chris, many thanks for clearing this up. I apologize for sending you off on a wild goose chase but I was under the impression that the report was Wurmheller's. At least I got something out of this thread! Many thanks to you for this and good luck on your quest.

Horrido!

Leo
