F/L L McAuliffe (on Tempest NV774) and F/O D G C McLeland (on NV670 - X), both from 222 Squadron, claimed a machine from 6./KG 76 north of Quackenbrück around 17:15hs, according to the excelente 2nd TAC AF volume 3, pg. 452 (Shores and Thomas). Do not have the crew names, though... Adriano |

Hi Nick,
Thank you very much indeed for your Information`s ... I Think that it was now Fw Bäumler which bailed out from the Loss near Petershagen / Minden. There was no other Loss in the vicinity of Minden that Day and Reserve Hospital in Rinteln is in the Area near Minden and Petershagen. Any Info`s about the Arado 234 from III / KG 76 ??? Thank`s for helping me !!! Greetings streak98 (Dirk) |

Re: III/KG 76 Losses 14. March 1945
Brian,
Would it be possible to share this article here, if it is not too long? I remember reading Clostermann's memories about chasing an Arado 234 around Remagen...maybe on that article there will be the full loss list. I guess that others which are interested on those actvities (Ar 234) will be interested on reading it too. Thanks a lot Adriano |
