Werner Streib

[David P. Williams]

I have a photograph of Werner Streib as a Hauptmann, with the Knight's Cross, taken during a tea party at Arnhem in Holland. In the picture his left hand/arm is bandaged. I know that he was wounded during an aerial encounter with a bomber sometime during 1941/42. Does anyone have the exact date of this encounter or access to the Luftwaffe losses that may reveal this date, location etc. Many thanks in anticipation.

It is known that Streib's Bordfunker, Oblt. Josef Schauster was wounded in Luftkampf in the night of 14/15.3.1941. They landed in Eindhoven and Schauster was taken to hospital in 's Hertogenbosch. I am sure Marcel H. knows more, so did you post on the NJ-Forum? Maybe Streib was slightly injured too.

In Marcel H's photo collection is a picture were Streib is visiting Schauster in hospital after the incident at 14/15.3.1941. At that picture Streib's left arm can be seen for 80%. He has his left hand in his pocket. At this picture it cannot be seen that Streib was also wounded during this incident.
