The first post for April on the date Germany invaded Norway and Denmark in 1940. This time a small eBay find with a link to Norway, a so-called Sterbebild or Prayer card.
Oberfeldwebel Jörg Zehetmayr (or Georg Zehetmeyer as his name is registered as by the Generalquartiermeister) was killed when he flew a He 111H-6 of Wettererkündungsstaffel 6, Werknummer 4358 coded D7 + RN, into the mountainside of Tømmernesaksla near Svartnes in Balsfjord on a transfer flight from Værnes near Trondheim to Banak.
The Flugzeugführer Zehetmayr and the Bordmaschinist Alios Waindl was badly burnt and killed in the crash, while the Bordfunker Werner Frevert was wounded and receoved medical treatment from the doctor onboard the
Bernhard von Tschirschky supply ship - Luftsicherungsschiff.
He was transferred to the hospital at Tromsö for further medical treatment.
Remains of the aircraft were still visible on the mountainside when Kjell Sørensen visited and photographed the site in 2004.
