Norge enthusiasts sought re: 1(f)120 Iceland vets

[Thomas Vance]

Hello,

This is my first post so I will offer a short introduction to my specific interests...

A fellow from axishistory recommended that I request contact with Norwegian LW specialists here regarding any surviving veterans who may have flown on Iceland missions, especially KG40 and 1(f)120.

My interest in the Iceland missions began a few years ago when I first visited the LW grave in Reykjavik and picked up in pitch after I visited a Ju88 crash site this spring. I have since accumulated a few interesting books and articles with notes on the Iceland flights and it was suggested by this same fellow that there may be a few survivors who were on these missions. Hugo Löhr was specifically mentioned, and it was suggested that he has died. I would appreciate any conclusive info re: Löhr.

I am a member of numerous forums and don't always check back as often as I might, so anyone who would like to contact me via email, feel free to do so at obscurist@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance!

The only 1/120 losses I have logged are 18 Oct 42 (Lt Harald Osthus and crew killed when shot down by Lt J D R Shaffer of 33 FS) and 24 Apr 43 (Lt Karl Brueck and 3 killed, 1 POW when shot down 1/Lt J M McNulty & 2/Lt H R Stengle of 50 FS). I have a number of FW 200 losses, one of which I have written about, plus a He 111 of 4/KG 40

Where have you written about this? If it is not posted elsewhere on the web, could you paste the citation here?

It was in 'Flypast' some years ago and concerned the combat on 5 Aug 43
