Re: HE111 Wnr 2472
Its "my" plate that are discussed here, so i would appreciate any help or info.
What i know the plane went down 21/4-1940 at När on the island of Gotland in Sweden. I found it when a old relative of mine passed away a few years ago, together with some photos. I was in contact with the author of "Emergencylanding" (Nödlandning) And he supplied me with some additional pics from the aircraft where you could see the Wnr, earlier it have been listed as 2470 in the book. So if any body have some info feel free to share it with me since this area is not my "strong" side. Best regards un_swe |

Re: HE111 Wnr 2472
This a/c was the B3+CM, belly landing near När/Österviken, destroyed by the crew. Lt. Alfred Kiefer (FF), Uffz. Richard Marbordt (BO), Uffz. Johann Hommer (BF), Flg. Guntram Engert (BS). But there is another He 111 of 4./KG 4 near Mästermyr/Gotland for the same day, B3+JM, crew Lt. Stute. Both run out of fuel. Target for this day was the railway between Steinkjer and Drontheim.
Regards, Heuser |
