Re: Unit that dropped Josef Jakobs
Hello.
I've just come back from Dovehouse farm as a series of programmes for National Geographic about the Tower of London are being made and in one episode a piece about Jakobs. I had a brief chat with the Historian Nigel West and he agreed that a Gartenfeld He-111 was used as the drop plane.
Jakobs was bound for London as a weather intelligence spy. Poor blighter was a bit out of his way and certainly had a reasonable walk to the nearest train station if he had landed without injury!.
Very interesting story.
