Crash of Fw. Reinert and his crew 3./KG53

Hi,

On the 12th of June 1942 the crew of Fw. Reinert crashed. Killing the following four crew members:

FF Uffz. Herbert Reinert
BO Fw. Berhard Krug
BM Fw. Jonny Rudolph
BS Ogefr. Herbert Grünzweig

Can someone provide more details around this mission and crash? And was there a BF that survived?

Regards, Thomas

Hello Thomas,

in the Gen.Qu. Verlustmeldung from June 14, 1942 is listed:

12.6. 3./KG 53 Feindflug (Bei Kretschno) Absturz infolge Flakbeschuss He 111 H-6 4851 A1+DL 100%
F Uffz Herbert Reiner vermisst
B Fw Bernhard Krug vermisst
Bf Uffz Paul Hübner vermisst
Bs Obgefr Herbert Grünzweig vermisst
Bm Fw Jonny Rudolf vermisst.

Correction from July 7, 1942: Uffz Hübner nicht vermisst, sondern verletzt.

Regards
Leo

Hallo Leo,

Thank you very much for this information. Hübner problably was the only crew member that was able to jump, maybe already wounded, out of the crashing he111.

A correction on July the 7th could indicate that he was behind enemy lines for quite some time.

Servus, Thomas
