5/KG4 Losses 28.08.42

[Spanferkel]

Does anyone have information related to losses for 5 staffel KG4 on 28.08.42???

Looking for the balance of crew (names) as well who served with Gefreiter Erwin Baumann lost on above mentioned day. Is it safe to assume that Karl Gundelach's book on KG4 is far from complete as it relates to loss listings?

Do you know why there is so much "offizier" in this flight ???

Hi Remi,


Unfortunately I do not, but had noticed that as well. The FF Grofling was actually ranked by both his BO, not entirely odd and his BF which is unusual. Unfortunately all I have on Baumann is his Wehrpas and it does not shed any light on why this flight was so heavy on officers.

Hi

On the 12-12-43 418 Sqn sent two Mosquito VI's on a Ranger to Bourges, France.
At 15:55 F/O J.R.F.Johnson, F/O N.J.Gibbons and F/L R.A.Kipp, F/O P.Huletsky claimed a He111 destroyed S of Bourges A/F, then at 16:00 they claimed another He111probably destroyed at Avord A/F.

The second He111 was from IV/KG4 and was 10% damaged in a low level attack(Tiefangriff) at Avord aerodrome.

I would like to know if possable the unit of the He111 that was claimed destroyed(it may not have been a He111 or evan lost) S of Bourges A/F.

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

David
