IMAGEColonely Hubert Zemke of the 56th Fighter Group strafing HE111s at an airfield near Flensberg. Gun Camera Image. Zemka has handwritten on the reverse: 'Picture #1 From Gun camera film. Hunsun Schilling (near Flensberg) this mission has been written up and sent to you but pictorially portrays the sequence of attaking 4 HE 111 on the dispersal.... No 2 aircraft caught fire quite easily and and caught fire before I'd flown abreast. My unfortunate wing men had to fly thru this fire and smoke following me . Fortunately the HE111s were not loaded with bombs. Picture # 2 Hunsun, 15 April 1944.'
