Re: 1/Kü.Fl.Gr.106 on 13.04.1940.

Good morning,

These are the two relevant documents from Bundesarchiv:

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1442

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1443

My interpretation of the 21.6 correction #118 is that 1. the pilot, Hattenbach, was shot while in captivity, 2. the beobachter , Bärner, was taken to England as a POW, and 3. the two other, unnamed, crewmen were "returned" (liberated?).

best regards,

Jim

WNr.1894 was a He115B I think.
Is it confirmed that this is the machine that went to F.64 please?

The complete story is told in the forthcomming He 115 book published by
Chandospublications.co.uk in December 2023. Nearly 400 Pages in A-4 format packed with photos, drawings and all you could possibly dream of.
