At the end of the war Oberst Hajo Herrmann planed or induced sabotage actions behind lines of western Allieds including occupied part of Germany.
Extended commando missions to Italy around April/Mai 1945 against American airfields in Italy, e.g.Forgia and Rimini, were cancelled after armistice
negotiations for Southern Front came to an end.
Beginning 1st Mai 1945 Hajo Herrmann dismissed his "BEES" e.g. from Salzburg-Ainring and nearby airfields with following document:
Grade Name has to accomplish a military order. After accomplishing the order he is dismissed from the Wehrmacht.
Signed Oberst Hajo Herrmann
All Pilots had about 3 kg explosives in their planes. On her flights "home" quite a number of these light a/c, e.g. Bü 181, were shoot down by American anti-aircraft guns
within Bavaria.
My questions:
1. Who knows of any active sabotage actions by these pilots?
2. Who has informations about shoot downs of Hajo Herrmann's "BEES"?
