KG 26 activities on 11th December 1939
Good night for all!
I would like to obtain more details about a KG 26 crew who was surprised by Blenheims If on the 11th December 1939, while on a patrol near the Scotish Coasts. Apparently the pilot was Obfw Moldenhauer and the Observer, Oblt Münter. Is there any record of the CODES and werknummer of this aircraft, who sustained damages but landed back at his own base? What the FULL names of both Moldenhauer and Münter and there are any information about the other crew names? Thanks in advance Adriano PS: Any information about which Blenheim IF Squadron who intercepted this particular Heinkel He 111? |

Re: KG 26 activities on 11th December 1939
Adriano: Totally wrong. The incident in question was 10 Feb 40, Ofw Herbert Moldenhauer of I/KG 26 was apparently wounded in combat with 2 Hudsons J & A of 224 Sqn. No RAF claim was made (combat was 1203 hrs), both Hudsons were damaged and the WOp of J wounded. I can find nothing on Münter. It would appear minimal damage to the He 111 hence just the wounded chap's name

Re: KG 26 activities on 11th December 1939
Hi Chris,
Thanks indeed for pointing me to this new DATE. I got the information about this air combat on the 11th December 1939 on the "booklet" about the Heinkel He 111 by Atlas Editions, written by Mister KIT. It is an old booklet - 80´s period. It is said that "this combat appeared on an ADLER magazine". I assumed the DATE was correct since the author mentioned his source. Thanks for pointing me a new direction. I will focuss on this new date. PS: Have you managed to contact that former SKG 10 airmen? Have you tried the Embassy to obtain an address? I passed your and my e-mail last via phone last time I called them, but got no joy...and I lost the phone number. If you still want to try, plese send me the phone you got, we can have a next try...

Adriano: Thanks for this. I think we have tried as much as we can with this man so I think we should leave it-shame as I think he can add a lot more to the 1944 ops
