Günther Wegmann - 3 February 1943
Hi guys
Feldwebel Günther Wegmann (15 victories, DK-G) of 9./ZG 26 had a narrow escape on 3 February 1943, when his aircraft was badly damaged in aerial combat with USAAF P-38 twin-engined fighters. Would anyone have the usual loss list information such as sub-type, tactical code and werknummer of the aircraft he was flying that day? Many thanks. Horrido! Leo |

Günther Wegmann - 3 February 1943
Hi Jim
Many thanks for your response to my question. I had read that he was part of a Schwarm that was about to attack USAAF B-26 twin-engined bombers when they were attacked by the escorting fighters and only he returned. Horrido! Leo |
