3./KG 27 loss 10.02.1941
Does anybody happen to have more precise information about the He 111 lost by 3./KG 27 on 10th February 1941 than provided in Weiss' chronicle?
I'm looking for the Werknummer and Kennung of this aircraft. |

Hello Leo,
Yes, I'm aware about this too. However, in that case they flew a different a/c. The one force-landed in Ireland wore a name "Die 5 Schreckensteiner III", whilst the a/c supposedly damaged on 10.02.1941 was named "Die Vier Schreckensteiner II" [source: photos in Weiss' book]. Regards, Maciej |
