Re: Information concerning loss of Oberfeldwebel Josef Schmid
The following is taken from the entry in Volume 2 of Luftwaffe Crash Archive (Page 226)...
Started from Lille at 1500hrs. Flew at 1,300ft to bomb Hornchurch aerodrome, Essex, with a bomb load of twenty 50kg bombs. The aircraft reached its objective but dropped six bombs because it was attacked by Spitfires and shot through port engine which caught fire and the gunner baled out, the remainder of the crew being killed when the aircraft crashed and exploded. Markings: B in yellow. Camouflage; green upper surface and blue underneath. Engines: Jumo 211 The gunner had just transferred from 4./KG-76 The crew burial details for Cannock Chase are: Huhn - CC 5/367 Schmid - CC 5/365 Jagher - CC 5/366 Ultsch - CC 5/368 Zaunig - Wounded. There is also a photo of the crash site.
