Re: Encounter over Denmark
I stand corrected! It would appear that German records are incorrect saying '15 kms NE Leeuwaarden'-presume the Flugbuch is more specific?

Re: Encounter over Denmark
Hi Chris
The Hans Richter Flugbuch reads: 493. Schoenert. Richter. Bf 110. R4+BM. Nachtjagd. Westerland. 18.5.42. 00:05. Westerland. 18.5. 02:10. 125`. The Hans Richter Abschussbeteiligungen reads: 24. Oblt Schoenert. 18.5.42. 00:54. Short Stirling b. Westerland (Aufschl. i. Dänemark).

Re: Encounter over Denmark
Hi Steve
Regarding Barnfather, the Danish police report reads: At approx. 06:00 a death flyer was found west of Ringkobing road, approx. 850 meters from the crashsite. The parachute had been deployed, but when the flyer hit the ground he had made a ½ meter deep imprint in the soil. This indicates to me that Barnfather had experienced a so called candle or streamer (chute not deploying properly) or that he had bailed out a too low level. Since he was found only 850 meters from the wreckage, I find the latter the most probable.
