Re: Bergunskommando or Salvage Detachments

Gildas, you are probably right.

There is perhaps a Gendarmerie report about this loss in the Finistere departemental archives? A report which could validate your testimony in some way.

Best regards,
Frederic

indeed, St.G 101 was based at St Raphael and dozens of JU87 crashed all around : Hyeres, Frejus, etc...

Hi Fred, nothing for Gouesnou in the department archives. I would add, strange, as Gouesnou hold a citation for having helped 12 airmen.

I only have one probable, 2Lt William Hawkins on 21 March 1944...
Yes, certainly these Bergunskommando reports would help a lot !
Best to all

Demat Gildas,

Really too bad the departemental archives don't have any records. You should try also the Gendarmerie Nationale archives, which hold some copies of reports - maybe they have something.

By the way, about Hawkins: http://www.4thfightergroupassociatio...inswcweb_a.pdf

All the best,
Frederic
