Re: Werner Baumbach ship destroyer
Thanks Jim P
A very nice summary!! Still very surprised that Aufkl.Gr 120 were chasing ships in D-models in 1941. Cheers Stig |

Re: Werner Baumbach ship destroyer
Hi,
Regarding Baumbach's shipping claims, Der Adler from 25 March 1941 noted that he took off from Holland on 13 February 1941 in a Ju 88 and claimed one tanker, one auxiliary cruiser and one submarine in the Harwich area. The official German claims were: 13.2.41, 13:25, II./K.G. 30, English 8,000 ton tanker sunk by two SC 250, east of Harwich, low-level attack from 40-50 metres altitude 13.2.41, 13:30, II./K.G. 30, English submarine attacked with eight SD 50, east of Harwich, after attack the submarine was not found, but a large oil patch was seen in the water. Also at 13:30 on that day, II./K.G. 30 claimed a 10,000 ton merchant ship damaged with two SC 250, east of Harwich in a low-level attack. Cheers, Andrew A.

Re: Werner Baumbach ship destroyer
What a pity Larry
I can understand your 'wrestling' days are over. The publications I have made myself was also back in my youth and admittedly I had more stamina back then. I cannot understand this 'mania' with fighters, fighters and again fighters. Surely it is the whole picture that is important. Of course if you can't publish it, the internet is second best, even if I myself belong to the generation who gets a pleasure just holding a good book in one's hand. No internet in the world can compare with that.... Good luck with your decision Larry. Cheers Stig |

Re: Werner Baumbach ship destroyer
Thanks for your thoughts, Stig, and I wholeheartedly agree with your comments about the obsession ad nauseam over fighters at the expense of everything else. I never have been able to understand this fixated focus on what was just 1% to 2% of the entire Luftwaffe. Double ditto on the books, too. One of my favorite stops during my many research visits to Washington between 1979 and 1992 was the Library of Congress where I was able to finagle stack privileges. I was like a 7-year-old let loose in a candy factory - acres and acres of shelves holding 40,000,000 books. I guess the fighter fanatics can justifiably turn around and point their finger at me and say, "to each his own obsession!"

Re: Werner Baumbach ship destroyer
How about crowd funding? It seems such a waist of time and talent not to publish as you had planned it.
