In respect of the latter, I contacted the Spitfire pilot responsible who was also shot down in the action and entertained by I/KG 6 in their Mess afterwards

Re: Le Culot airfield Ju-88 ground looped
Hi Alain,
Looked up the page and found (as Montana says) 12-12-43 Ju 88 6/KG6 144593 Bruchldg. St. Culot FF Uffz Werner Trumpener, Uffz. Rudolf Backer, Bf Ogef Heinrich Siebert all inj. Bs Uffz Erich Shulze killed 44. In my last post it shows Uffz Werner Trumener killed on 24-8-44 however in the alphabetical lists Uffz Werner Trumpener is shown killed on 24-8-44 so it is the same pilot, Regards Brian Bines |
