Framed Original WW2 Nazi German Luftwaffe Parachute Fragment Recovered From The Crash Site Of German 2 Group KG55 Griffin Squadron Heinkel He111 Bomber Number 2877 Shot Down By AA Fire Over Birmingham 19-11-1940 With Notes Regarding Fate Of Crew - 15703:22 Kampfgeschwader 55 "Greif" KG 55 or Battle Wing 55 was a Luftwaffe bomber unit during World War II. KG 55 was one of the longest serving and well-known in the Luftwaffe. The wing operated the Heinkel He 111 exclusively until 1943, when only two staffeln of its four Gruppen (Groups) used the Junkers Ju 88). The Luftwaffe He111 Bomber Number 2877 took off from Dreux near Paris to take part in a night raid over Birmingham 19th November 1940. The aircraft hit by Anti-Aircraft (AA) fire over Birmingham and when the wireless operator saw the observer bale out, he followed suit. The aircraft was completely wrecked and burnt out. Armament: Parts of one MG 15 and some pieces of armour were found. Markings on a small plate found in the wreckage showed that the aircraft or component was made at Heinkel Werke, Oranienburg. Its bomb load included at least one 500 kg bomb slung on the underside of the aircraft. The aircraft crashed at Workshop Farm, Wolvey, Warwickshire. This parachute fragment 13” x 11” measured within the frame was recovered from the crash site. The fragment with section of cord attached has old dry blood stains and areas of scorching no doubt as a result of the action which left the pilot & one gunner killed and the 2 crew who baled out, captured as prisoners of war. One edge of the fragment has ink writing ‘He 111 19-11-40 (date)’. A card mounted within the frame has information regarding the incident, the aircraft shot down, names & designations of the 4 man German crew together with what happened to them as a result of being shot down (illustrated). The glazed gold painted wood frame measures 15”x 12”x ½”. The rear has hanging rings with cord and a label naming the crash site of the aircraft which can be seen in image 3.
