Re: Oblt ??? of ZG26 Battle of Britain

Same event depicted in "Der Adler" of 1 Oct 1940.
If I understand correctly, the pics are credited to a Kisselbach of the PropagandaKompanie.
One picture of the low-flying Bf110 has cliffs in the background.
There is at least one motor-boat, with an awful zebra camo, involved in the rescue.
None of the He59 pictures shows the NE+?? code, but one shows the ??+TD code.

One of the pics of the ditched Bf110 with the raised tail appears in
Their Finest Hour : The Story of the Battle of Britain 1940 by Edward Bishop,
the source is given as Sudd. Verlag, (Süddeutscher Verlag in Munich ?)
