Hi,

Colleagues,
Please tell me which of the Luftwaffe pilots on 4/9/1939 registered applications for the destruction of Blenheims in the Wilhelmshaven area and at what time, and at what time, applications for the destruction of two Wellingtons in the Brunsbüttel area were registered.

Thank you.
There is such information:
The 2./ZG 26 came from Varel. Leutnant Hans Falke was killed in a crash at Mellum Plate in a combat with a Blenheim. Unteroffizier Richard Woick shot down a Blenheim in the same area.

Where could this information be taken from and how reliable is it?

Hi,

according to a source this claim was submitted by Lt. Hans Falke 2./ZG26. Short time later Lt. Falke became victim of friendly naval flak fire.

According to this source

first victory ZG26 happened only on 29 September 1939.

This is "copy-paste" source. I`m basing on an after-action report. His claim was unconfirmed.
