Re: British bomber loss over Germany on 17.08.40
Hello,
Re: 653188 Sgt F J PENNICOTT (Camps DL/L1 - PoW No.2435)
Another early arrival at the Hohemark (Reserve Lazarett Kuranstadt Hohemark), was Sergeant F. J. Pennicott RAF, whose Wellington, on the night of 16/17 August, 1940, (Kolleda), had crashed into a hill avoiding searchlights and gunfire some 100 kilometres short of the target.
See:
Footprints on the Sands of Time.
Clutton-Brock,Oliver.
London:Grub Street,2003.
pp.157 & 380.
Might I suggest, the crash location as (bei Einbeck), near Einbeck (approx. 100 km NW of Kolleda), (not Bayreuth, being most likely where the photograph was processed).
Col.
