Fw 200 Condor - Schelcher
On 2 September 1940 Oblt Ekkehard Schelcher of III/JG54 was killed in action over the UK. According to his family, his younger brother was shot down and killed flying a Fw 200 over the Atlantic near The Orkneys in 1941.
Can anyone add in the details of that loss? His name, rank, details of crew, date etc etc. Chris?
