Werner Baumbach September 1942
Hi guys
In Werner Baumbach's "Broken Swastika" page 92, he implies (quoting his diary) that following an attack by KG30's Ju88s against Convoy PQ-18, two of his pilots - namely Flechner and Eckardt - were amongst those lost. I can't find the above. Can anyone advise, please? Cheers Brian Last edited by Brian; 14th June 2017 at 18:44. |

Re: Werner Baumbach September 1942
Thanks, GRM
Yes, I have a note of that loss but Baumbach definitely implies that both failed to return from an attack on PQ-18 (he doesn't indicate actual date, but of course we are talking about 13-18 September span. He also implies that he was quoting from his diary! Something not quite right here! Cheers Brian PS: I had Flechner's loss down to a ramming or AA fire? |
