Kurt Ubben
Hi guys
A rather belated thank you to both for your information. I have to agree with Stig that Ubben most likely was shot down in aerial combat although he may have thought it was due to ground fire. My understanding of this particular air battle is that seven Hurricanes of 33 Sqn, RAF clashed with five fighters of III./JG 77 resulting in two Hurricane fighters shot down and a third badly damaged and force-landing at base and two Bf 109 E-7 fighters being lost, flown by Ubben and Oberleutnant Armin Schmidt, Staffelkapitän of 9./JG 77, who was killed. A third fighter may have been badly damaged and force-landed at base as well. Horrido! Leo |
