Re: German losses 13 Sep 1941, Beauvais, France

[Danny152]

All, and guess Chris will be pulling his hair out by now.

Here is the next question:

Was there any German losses on the 13/14 September 1941 in the region of Beauvais, France. Again 23 Squadron claimed a destroyed He111 and a damaged on a He111, on landing at a airfield.

It would have been a night time claim.

Thanks as always for your support and time.

Cheers

Crash-landed at Beauvais after combat damage with enemy fighter. Ac damaged so not destroyed. No Staffel or code recorded. Luftwaffe records confirm that just one He 111 was attacked landing at Beauvais, aircraft damaged and one crew wounded so this confirms it. The destroyed He 111 was yet again optimistic I am afraid to say

Is the WNr correct? I have this He 11H-6 als lost 100% 21.03.41 off Bull Rock Lighthouse, Ireland after being shot down by a Blenheim. Pilot Fw Ludwig Popp.

Hi RolandF

Yes, it's right.
The damage from 13. Sept.41 was only 30%.

As always, thank you so much for all your time and help on these requests. I am afraid more to follow.

Chris, you will have a mention in my new book for all your help. Jo, can you provide details via PM of your full name please, as would like to include you also in the acknowledgments?

Thanks guys.
