Hi !

Uffz Siegfried Beisbarth is mentioned on the Volksbund website as killed at Leglise on 22/04/1940.
Is this date correct or has it to be 22/05/1940 ?
Was he killed in a planecrash ?
Who has more details ?

Many thanks and best regards

Luc

Hi Phil & Luc,

The French pilots were Ss-Lt Rouquette, Adjt-chef Bouvard and Sgt-chef Morel. Oblt.Kratzmann, the observer, was wounded (knee and head) and sent to the Longlier hospital. Fw. Schulte-Umberg (radio-gunner) was slightly wounded (foot and shoulder) and sent directly to Brussels.

Rgds.

Hi Phil and Montana,

Many thanks for your very interesting information.

'Ils étaient là ...' only mentions it in the list of victories - no details sa names of the French pilots etc.
So the 2 crewmembers who got injured became pow.

Best regards from another side of Belgium
