Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
Yes, I remember reading that too. That was on Wikipedia I believe.
I don't know if that's trustworthy. Maybe the Wikipedia page has been changed in the mean time, that you can't find the source anymore? You too a good weekend! Timon |

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
Yes, that sounds familiar
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinri...n-Wittgenstein and the wording suggests that no kills were scored on that occasion. |

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
Here is an article from the FalkeEins blog that I think is helpful:

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
Yes, apropos Günther Bertram, have you ever come across a photo of this He 111 top scorer ?

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
Neither have I. But I have a photo of joint He 111 two scorer Waldemar Teige.

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
Try finding Claire Rose Knott's "Princes of Darkness", Ian Allan, 1-903223-95-6. It is a nice bio of both Heinrich Prinz zu Sayn-Wittgenstein & Egmont Prinz zur Lippe Weissenfeld.
(Sayn-Wittgenstein's first combat sorties were flown as an observer in He 111s in KG 1 in 1939 and early-1940.) |

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
I would second that. It mentions Zur Lippe-Weissenfeld's single victory only in a Do 17.

Re: Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein
I once read a book about night fighters (it was about Helmut Lent, Heinz Schnauffer, Heinrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein, etc.; it may have been The Lent Papers, but I'm not sure) and I remember they flew Bf 110s, but I may not remember exactly.
