Missing Losses
There has been quite a bit of discussion recently about RAF claims and a lack of German losses but errors did occur. By means of eample, a Leistungsbuch for a German observer (said to be I/KG 100 but in fact 2/KG 28) said that on the night of 6-7 May 41, his He 111 suffered and engine failure and ditched. I could find no mention in the QMG's Returns (but stand by to be corrected) yet there is an NVM for their loss (He 111 H-5, Wk Nr 3881, 1T+HK ditched 50 km south of Lizard Pt). However the NVM said they were rescued by seaplane 3 days later, the Leistungsbuch says 11 hours. Just goes to prove there is nothing certain!
