13/8/1943 in Spain
 

Greetings, my name is Agustin Ruzafa and I am Spanish, I devote myself to investigate plane crash in Galicia (NW Spain) in WWII.

I would like to ask help on this aircraft of the Luftwaffe:

13/8/43

Fw 200 Kondor W Nr.0221 TA+MW F8+IT of 9/Kg40

Landed at the beach Camariñas, 7 crew members (I know the names) and fell by a downed B-24

It is possible to know something else? A report or something similar

Thank you very much

I do not have reports from the German crew but do from the American crew and a mention in the Luftflotte 3 report. Suggest you have a look at my book 'Sea Eagles' Vol 2

Agustin: A word of caution. If you use photos taken from a book, you should seek permission first and then credit from where/who the photos came.

Re: 13/8/1943 in Spain
 

Hello Chris, firstly the only book that I have of him is the Bloody Biscay and I think it does not leave any of these photos, as far as I know, the images emerging in Sea Eagles vol. 2 and are downloaded from the internet, you have reason to knowingly should have asked permission and I did not and second in the final of the article cited the two books leave yours, but only has one. I apologize and I assure you it will not be repeated, as you will see is a modest blog is not a book. I am very sorry
Thank you very much.
Agustin
