Mishaps 3 Bf 109's 3./JG52 29 May 1941

[Hans Nauta]

Dear all,

According to the Kriegstagebuch Flughafenbereich Amsterdam (Schiphol) in Holland 3 Bf 109's of 3./JG52 sustained 35% damage while attempting to land in the fog near the dummy airfield of Wieringermeer.

The pilots involved were Oblt Helmut Benneman, Lt Rudolf Miethig and Ofw Karl Rüttger.

At least 2 Bf 109's turned over, one of these being + Schwarze 1 (photo evidence).

I would expect these Bf 109's were amongst the losses and damaged aircraft in the GQM returns, but I can't find these in the lists.

Does anyone perhaps have more additional info on file like concerned Werknummern or even fuselage codes?

Thank in advance for your effort,

Hans
