Query concerning Gefreiter Franz Irg - lost 15th September 1940
Hi,
I have put this information on before but no one could help. After researching another Luftwaffe loss for the same day - Uffz. Georg Huber, who was listed in the Battle of Britain Then and Now, from 5/KG 2 I am wondering if FRanz Irg was part of that crew. The reference lists the other crew members as: Uffz. Boehmel killed Uffz. Moebius and Gefr. Birg missing Could this Birg be a mis print? Rick |

Yes, he was BS of Do 17 Z, Werk-Nr. 2304, U5+HN.
The whole Crew was: Uffz. Gerhard Böhme FF, KIA Uffz. Erich Möbius BO, MIA? Uffz. Georg Huber BF, KIA Gefr. Franz Irg BS, MIA? The a/c was shot down by fighters (Spits of 19.Sqdn?) Regards Heuser |
