Anders Catos book.. Wed Jan 7 21:01:06 2024 212.217.133.163 Cato Guhnfeld has written a MARVELOUS book about the events at Forebu airfield 9 april 1940.. a real pity its only published (AFAIK)in Norwegian and yes he sometimes quotes from Hansens book.. but only to show/tell how Hansen rewrote some events to suite his purpose. Hansen seems to have been a somewhat devious character.. Do you have Catos email? otherwise I may proivide some pointers Regards Anders (The book referred to is: Fornebu 9. april, by Cato Guhnfeld. Unknown Binding: 368 pages Publisher: Wings; (1990) ASIN: 8299219418 Fornebu airfield was located at Oslo, Norway. Regards, Richard) |

Chris Goss Re: Catos book.. Wed Jan 7 22:37:34 2024 80.40.88.129 I was in touch with Cato when he was writing this book and yes, Norwegian only. I have a number of photos of Hansen (from Ul Kettling of 1/ZG 76) but do not really need access to his book |

Marcel Hogenhuis Hansen Fri Jan 9 11:10:57 2024 217.122.92.115 Hello Chris, Nice to meet again! You do perhaps remember that the history of I.NJG 1 has my attention for some years now. As Werner Hansen was Staffelkapitan of the 3./NJG 1, would it be possible to provide a good scan of one of those photo's of Hansen? I was aware of Hansen's career before he joined I.NJG 1 from that Squadron Publication's book "Bf110 in Action" but the mentioning of a book from Hansen himself AND comments from the Norwegian author is totally new for me! Many thanks in advance! Marcel Hogenhuis PS. could you grant permission if I would like to use a Hansen picture for an publication in the future about the history of I.NJG 1 and Venlo airfield in WW-2 ? In that case, a 300 dpi scan would be warmly appreciated. Though Hansen probably never was in Venlo, his personal history is part of that of the I.NJG 1. |

Werner Hansen
Hi Richard
I have recently completed a documentary entitled A VERY SHORT WAR centred around the life of my uncle who lost his life in the skies over Oslo when his Sunderland L2167 of RAF 210 Squadron was shot down on the 9th April 1940, the day Germany invaded Norway and the Phoney War came to an end. The Sunderland was shot down by two Bf 110s piloted by Oblt Helmut Lent and Oblt Werner Hansen. I am most interested in these two characters and have a lot of information on them but have been unable to find any photographs of Hansen. I noticed that you mentioned you had some so was wondering if you would feel comfortable in sharing them with me. My email address is avsw@internode.on.net For your information, here is the website for our documentary:- http://www.averyshortwar.com Also, here is a short scene from our documentary on our production company's website:- http://www.contibrosfilms.com/Conti_...ilms/AVSW.html If you feel so inclined I would love to hear from you. Kind regards Bill Young (Sydney, Australia) Quote:
