Re: This DO217 Fin is mine !
Hi everyone,

As an aside, aircraft 6N+IT could be of historical significance. As a Do 217 K2 it was configured only to carry the Fritz-X, not the Hs 293. This aircraft's participation in this raid on Cherbourg would be the only probable indication that Fritz-X missions were flown over Normandy, or for that matter, on any mission after the Plymouth raid of 30 April 1944. (The K3 was configured for either the Fritz-X or Hs 293.)
