Re: He 111 loss 22nd August 1944 France
KTB III./KG 53
Erfolgsmeldung Nr. 2, 19. August 1944 Anzahl: 15 Typ: He 111 Auftrag: Versorgung im Pl.Qu. 19285 Startzeit: 03.57 - 04.40 Uhr Landezeit: 06.50 - 07.30 Uhr Angriffszeit: 04.53 - 05.30 Uhr Angriffshöhe: 200 m Erfolg: Lage der Behalter war sehr zerstreut, da Abwurfplatz nicht gekennzeichnet und deshalb schlecht auszumachen war. 2 He 111 Behälter nicht geworfen, da der Platz ohne Markierung nicht ausgemacht werden könnte. Bomben: 59 Behälter Kraftstoff Abwehr: Leichte Flak, eigene oder feindlich, kann nicht festgestellt werden. Verluste: 1 He 111 Besatzung Uffz. Finis vermisst (A1+LR) Aufklärung: Um 04.35 Uhr wurde von mehreren Besatzungen súdlich Mantes ein Aufschlagbrand beobachtet. Im Plan-Quadrat 392 bei Esternay im Wald etwa 20 - 30 Fallschirme beobachtet. I don't have any information for II./KG 53 from this period. Some crews served in TGr. 30 but III./KG 53 acted independently. In late August III./KG 53 was withdrawn from combat operation and transferred to Woisselsdorf (Silesia) to train for attacks with V-1s missiles (codename FZG 76). In fact crew of Uffz. Lechner landed in A1+NS in Romilly due to Motor Defect. Take-off 02.25, Supply Drop 03.05 (200 meters, Supply Load: 5 Otto Kraftstoff Behälter), Landing Romilly 05.15. According to KTB German Airmen were not injured or killed during landing. Maybe during way back to unit on ground? |

Re: He 111 loss 22nd August 1944 France
NVM gives Paris as crash location for S3+HH. A letter from Volksbund gives place of death of Uffz Follmann as Paris with original burial at Maysel/Oise, north of Paris?
