1/JG27 losses on 8 August 1940
Ltn Igor Birkenbach, Ltn Karl-Heinz Bothfeld and an unknown pilot, all from 1/JG27, were shot down on 8 August 1940. Birkenbach and Bothfeld were killed. According to Simon Parry's BOB Combat Archive they were shot down by 145 Squadron during the first attack on convoy Peewit at approximately 9.15. However, John Weals' history of JG27 describes the three pilots being shot down in the early afternoon raid on Peewit (12.00-12.50). Can anyone shed any light on this? I have the Saunders book on Convoy Peewit but it doesn't help with these timings.
