Luftwaffe Attacks 10 Feb 43

[Chris Goss]

On this afternoon, 29 aircraft took off to carry out Störangriff between Dartmouth and Rye with 15 aircraft attacking specified targets. KG 2 suffered no losses but 5./KG 40 lost an aircraft attacking Tangmere and another near Brighton. Two aircraft from 4 & 5./KG 40 each returned with wounded crew. Lt Helmut Ueberson of 7./KG 2 took part but the target in the FB of one of his crew had been obscured while the crew of Uffz Heinz Holzmann carried out the deadly attack on Reading. Can anyone tell me what Ueberson attacked or the names of any other participating crews?

[Chris Goss]

It would appear that the 5./KG 40 wounded crewman was from the day before during an attack on Winchester. Thanks to Brian Bines, another name on 10 Feb 43 was Uffz Max Reuthe of 5./KG 40 but no idea what he attacked
