Operation Weserübung.
On 9/4 1940 the Wehrmacht launched the invasion of Denmark and Norway known as
operation “Weserübung”. They needed the Danish airfields to be able to reach
Norway by aeroplane. The airfields in Jylland were taken without bloodshed while
at Værløse airfield near København a Danish Fokker 3R was claimed by Hauptman
Wolfgang Falck of Stab I./ZG 76.
The Luftwaffe lost a number of aircrafts due to accidents and due to weather.
Apart from those below, a number of aircrafts landed in fields due to lack of
fuel, but were able to take off again after having been re fuelled.
There are known to have landed Ju 52`s in places like Silkeborg, Hygum near
Harboør, Vust, Kørup on the island of Fyn and near Vust.
It is not known to which squadrons they belonged and they are not discussed
below.
