crash location of Bf110 C-7 of 3./NJG3 near Cloppenburg, 10-11 May 1941?
Dear all,
Who can provide me with the crash location of Bf110 C-7 W.Nr. 3606 of 3./NJG3 near Cloppenburg on the night of 10-11 May 1941? The Nachtjäger collided with a 7 Squadron Stirling that hit the ground at Beverbruch, NE of Cloppenburg; I presume that the fighter impacted somewhere in this area? Cheers and thanks, Theo |

Hi Theo
In the GQM loss list, the crash location is specified as Carrel. This should be Garrel, 12km north of Cloppenburg. The machine was marked L1 + BL and is called Bf 110 C-4. Was the 3./NJG 3 in Vechta at this time? best wishes JoMe Last edited by JoMe; 17th July 2018 at 13:23. Reason: supplement |

The WASt file gives Cappeln(Oldenburg), which is located 6km s.e. of Cloppenburg.

Thanks for your replies JoMe and Merlin; interesting to note that these two primary sources quote a different crash location of the Bf110. As the Stirling crashed at Beverbruch near Garrel following the mid-air collision, Garrel appears more likely to be the crash location of the Nachtjäger. And yes, I./NJG3 operated from Vechta during this period.
Cheers, Theo |
