Gents,
Does anyone have any additional info on the above victory? On 12.09.44 Fw. (First name?) Siegmann of 2./NJG 6 is recorded as shooting down a Lancaster in grid AQ-AR 4.000 m. altitude [Haguenau] at 22.40 hours. From a quick search it would appear to be Lancaster I LM137 UM-G2 of 626 Sqn. RAF. It was lost 12/13.9.1944 on a raid to Frankfurt. Cause of loss not established. Crashed 22:40 at Plittersdorf, 4 km NW of Rastatt. (this is 28 Km east of Haguenau as the crow flies). F/O D.R.B.Thorpe PoW.Those killed are buried in Durnbach War Cemetery: F/O G.T. Bolderston RCAF (2nd Pilot) murdered by civilians. Sgt F.C. Foster murdered by civilians. P/O A.C.L. Cox KIA. F/Sgt S.E. Dunnett murdered by civilians. Sgt J. Peart PoW. F/S R.H. Cross PoW. F/S L.F. Beattie KIA. Thanks Ian |
