FW58, I/ZG2, 1.9.40
Greetings: On Sept.1st,1940, a FW58 courier A/C of I/ZG2 was involved in a mid air collision with a Bf109E of 1/JG2 near Conchez. All personnel on both A/C were unfortunately killed. While Oblt. Siegfried Blume, St/Kpt. of 2/ZG2, and Fw. Taube of 1/JG2 are both known to me, I am curious of the first names, unit, and disposition (Pilot, Bf, Ground crew?) of Uffz. Pietruschka, and Uffz. Hornberg. Any comments appreciated. Thanks. Dean

Just idle curiousity. Where is Conchez? My gazeteer and a Google search throw up nothing.

Hi Andy: From the JG2 loss data, the collision occurred over "Emanville, vicinity of Conches-en-Ouche". Hopefully a little more helpful. Regards. Dean

Oh, and by the way....No "typoland" on Conchez, it's located just south west of Emanville. Regards. Dean
