Re: Loss of 1./KG27 He111 at "Luere Vogesen" France 17.7.40
Hello,
Further analysis of this loss indicates that this crash took place on 14.07.40, and that it occurred in "the Vogesen" (meaning unknown, apparently not a village) about 7.6 km east of Servance, in France-Comté, France. The crew was apparently buried at the town of Lure several kms to the SW on 19.07.40. The Luftwaffe QM report of the loss on July 17th apparently is in error. Walter Waiss, in his KG27 book, Vol II, lists the full name of this crew and provides the location. Does anyone know what the word "Vogesen" means in this context? Is it a place or the name of a type of terrain? The crash photos indicate that it took place in heavy woods. Thanks for any help.
