Re: Bf 110 , april 7 1940 , ZG 2 crash
Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down in combat with Curtiss H-75s of GC I/5 and Moranes of GC III/6 south of Sedan p.m. Possibly that claimed by S/Lt Warnier of GC I/5 at Beaumont-en-Argonne. FF Fw Kurt Müller and BF Gefr Herbert Penkert both killed. Aircraft 100% write-off.
No Bf 110 loss of a crew member named Neumann on this day. The other I./ZG 2 loss was as follows: Messerschmitt Bf110C. Shot down in combat with Curtiss H-75s of GC I/5 and Moranes of GC III/6 south of Sedan p.m. Possibly that claimed by Lt Dorance of GC I/5 at Stonne. FF Lt Johannes Kiel baled out and captured unhurt, BF Unterfw Werner Ehm killed. Aircraft 3M+AL 100% write-off.

What I posted is all the information I have. Being a 2./ZG 2 machine, the best shot at the fuselage code would be 3M+(?)K.

Bf 110, April 7, 1940, ZG 2 crash
Hello Jagdgruppe
According to The Battle of France Then and Now by Cornwell, Leutnant Johannes Kiel (20 victories, RK, killed in action 29 January 1944) was flying Bf 110 C (W.Nr. 3205) when shot down on 7 April 1940. One source that I have seen states that this was a Bf 110 C-2. I hope this helps. Horrido! Leo |
