Bf 110 W.Nr. 6405, 14 october 1943
Hi,
On 14th october 1943, Uffz Heinz Knüttel was wounded in air combat. He was a Bordfunker of III./ZG 26 Bf 110G-2 W.Nr 6405. I'm looking for degree of damage of that plane. Also any other informations about ZG 26 losses will be welcome. Regards, Szymek |

Hi Szymek
Its mentioned in the Lossreg. 1939-1945 in the Netherlands (Studie groep Luchtoorlog 1939-1945) on 1943-12-22 So I think the damage was small on your date. regards Peter van Gogh |

Hi
The aircraft isnt' listed as damaged, so the damage to the aircraft would be under 10% Regards, Andreas B

Re: Bf 110 W.Nr. 6405, 14 october 1943
Thank you very much.
Andreas or Maathuis, Could you check for me also ZG 1 losses for 14 october 1943 or - if it's not a problem - for period september - december 1943 ? I know that in action against 2nd Schweinfurt raid three Bf 110 were lost. I found two of them, 4./NJG 6 Bf 110 G-4 W.Nr. 720248 and 6./NJG 1 Bf 110 G-4 W.Nr. 6347. So, my presumption that W.Nr 6405 is third loss is false. Still looking for the last one, perhaps ZG 1 plane. Szymek Last edited by Gizmo; 4th September 2009 at 11:34. |

Re: Bf 110 W.Nr. 6405, 14 october 1943
Andreas,
On 13th october 1943 I/ZG 1 was renamed as I/ZG 26. According to www.ww2.dk webpage, in october 1943 I/ZG 26 write off 5 Bf 110 due to enemy actions. If some of them were lost before 13th october could be described as I/ZG 1 planes. On Tony Woods webpage, I/ZG 1s crews claims for 14 october are still described as 1., 2. 3,/ZG 1, not 1.;2.; 3/ZG 26, so designation I/ZG 1 could by used for some time longer that 13th october. II/ZG 1, which stay with this designation until July 1944, according to www.ww2.dk in october 1943 suffered a loss of 3 Bf 110 to the enemy, and there was no combat losses for II/ZG 1 on november and december 1943. I'm specially interested in 14th october 1943 because I planned writing an "both side view" article about 2nd Schweinfurt Raid. Regards, Szymek |
