Bf-110B down 3rd Sept 1939 near Warsaw

[Franek Grabowski]

On p. 209 it is clearly stated that the victim of Januszewicz was Mazurowski. Your problems are not mine problems.

Cool it, guys! Let's keep civil and focused without the side comments..........

On p. 209 it is clearly stated that the victim of Januszewicz was Mazurowski.

The name "Mazurowski" was found on a picture. That`s all on p.209. Where are the "great details" of the German crew or their mission on this day?!

Thanks for help.

Marius,

we know that Franek didn`t read carefully the book of J.Cynk. There is only account from Polish side and something like this about involved German crew:

I`m immediately taking our technical officer and we are driving to the crash site. The bodies of two enemy airmen are two groups of meat lying some 150 meters of wrack. Their overalls are burning but we have water and could distinguish the fires. We are pulling their documents and wallets. I found one photo – good looking blonde guy in uniform of Luftwaffe NCO in garden. Beside him a young woman with child – apparently his wife. His name is: Mazurowsky…”

But no word about serial, markings, flight and exactly names and ranks of these two airmen. Marius, you was first who put the details from both sides together.

Regards

Robert

Hey, does it mean that Marius knows the serial and markings of that Messer? Could you share?
And is the "B" version sure? What is the source of that information?
It is very interesting, fact that Januszewicz went to the crash site suggests that also on the Polish side there was possiblity of detailed account.
In fact I remember some relation from that fight by Januszewicz, who describes the whole combat, and also I remember Januszewicz's mistake, as he wrote that Messer was powered by Diesel engine. Was it in Marius' article about Brygada Poscigowa in Militaria XX wieku magazine?
TIA!

Hi,

such details like markings and serial are still unknown. But we know the time of German missions (there two formations) and all losses.
BTW it was Bf110C. The Bf110B were used only by the 3/ZG76.

Robert,
could you provide us with the source for this much questionable information?
