Has anyone reconstructed the victory list for 9./ZG76 Bf110 pilot Obfw Harras Matthes during 1940?

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

Matthes was reported to have had at least 6 victories during the WC of May-June 1940, but we know nothing of his BoB period. We also have no confirmed photo of his a/c and victory scoreboard on the fin of his plane. Does anyone have any further info on this pilot, especially any victories that he scored during the Battle of Britain? Anyone have any photos of his a/c?

His known victories, all with 6./ZG1 are reported as:

1) 10.5.40 Dutch Koolhoven over Rotterdam
2) 10.5.40 British? Hurricane over Rotterdam
3) 8.6.40 French Morane 406
4) 8.6.40 French Breguet 690
5) 8.6.40 Swiss Bf109
6) 11.6.40 French Curtiss

This is believed to be his complete total for the WC, but his career during the BoB with presumably 9./ZG76 is totally unknown to me.

Regards,
