4/JG77and 3/ZG76 Norway 13 June 1940

[Brian]

Hi guys

On 13 June 1940, 15 FAA Skuas from 'Ark Royal' attempted to bomb the 'Scharnhorst' in Trondheimfjord. Eight of the Skuas were shot down by Bf109s of 4/JG77 (two by Arnoldy, one each by Sawallisch, Harbach and Froba) and 3/ZG76 (one each by Gollob, Krzywon, Kohler and Schob).

1) Firstly, has anyone any reports from the German side? Overall combat report, individual combat reports? Memoirs/accounts?

2) Is there any mention of this action in Gordon Gollob's biography? If so, would someone kindly scan this for me? A mention in desptaches will be forthcoming!!

3) I am lacking first names for Harbach, Froba, Krzywon and Kohler.

Anything from the German side acceptable, please!!

Thanks in advance and fingers crossed.
Cheers
Brian
