1./(F)123 Losses 1943
Hi Guys,
As some of you will know I have been researching this recon unit for many years and have compiled all the losses from 1939 - 1942. I managed to get all the NVM reports from WASt in Berlin before they became no longer available. I am hoping that some of our members can help with losses for the 1 Staffel for the year 1943. Any details would be greatly appreciated by myself. Thank you Melvin www.aircrewremembrancesociety.co.uk

Re: 1./(F)123 Losses 1943
The aircraft that completed the 1000th mission was the 4U+KH crewed by Lt. Arndt, Fw. Kunze, Fw. Hoefs and Uffz. Hartwig.

Re: 1./(F)123 Losses 1943
Ah Chris, I have seen a similar plate to yours when I visited Fritz Schlichting in Detmold in 2004, he had the same plate hanging on his wall! Have attached a couple of images of the two plates he had and the original showing the two plates in the Staffel Album. He also had a carved model of a Ju 88 diving on England on his desk. Sadly Fritz is no longer with us, he was around 90 years of age when I visited. Hope you like the pictures.

Re: 1./(F)123 Losses 1943
So there are at least 2 in the World-mine is sitting in front of me on my desk. Before I start delving deeper, anything more about the fate of Arndt & his crew?

Re: 1./(F)123 Losses 1943
Not sure, I know that Arndt survived 1942 at least, hence my quest for the 1943 Italy losses!

Was Arndt a BO if so Hans Arndt Pokal 25 Jan 43? Kunze FF Willi Pokal 25 Jan 43? Günter Höfs BF Pokal 26 Oct 42?
