Heinkel He 111 - Chris Goss
BOMBERS OVER THE UNITED KINGDOM, 1941
Groundcrew applying black distemper to a He 111 of an unidentified unit, in the winter of 1940-41. Note that even the 500kg bomb has been painted black.
As a defence against night fighters, some He 111s were fitted with fixed rearwards firing MG 17 machine-guns. The two He 111 H-6s shown in this photograph are apparently from KG 53.
The night of 10-11 May 1941 saw the last major attack of the Blitz against London. One of the casualties was this He 111 H-5, werk nummer 3823 of 3./KG 4 which was probably attacked by ex-Battle of Britain veteran, Pilot Officer Fred Burnard of 85 Squadron, off Bradwell Bay. The German pilot, Oberstleutnant Fritz Bredemeier, reported that the port engine was hit, and they were forced to drop their bombs on Clacton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze, and then turn for home. On the way back, the port engine began to smoke and shake violently, so was shut down. The He 111 then force-landed on the beach at Ostend. Bredemeier was later reported wounded over the Soviet Union and awarded the Deutsches Kreuz in Gold in April 1942, while still flying with I./KG
