KG 27 losses night 01 June 1941
Good night to all members.
Am looking for the crew composition and names of the KG 27 losses (to 604 Sqdn Beaufighters) on the night of 31st May / 01st June 1941. Those were 1) He 111 P-4, code 1G+CH (1 Staffel) crashed down at Tarrant Gunville 2) He 111 P-4, code 1G+DS (8 Staffel) crashed down near Cranborne (Birches Wood) It seems that an Oberleutnant Kleinfeld was on board on 1G+DS...was he a Beobachter or Flugzeugfuhrer? Any details of the two full crewmembers of those two machines most welcomed Adriano B. |

Leo and Chris,
Thank you so much for the details I was looking for! Chris, do you happen to know if on Lindemann's FB he list the missions he flew with Kleinfeld? How many Feindflug (missions) have Lindemann flown until the date of his death? Baumgartner |
