Re: Major Wilhelm HERGET's Ju 88 G-1 found in Belgium!
One last 'mystery':
Some witnesses said that German troops paid a tribute near the crashsite at the daylight. Oddly, aircrew escaped by chute.
Was this ceremony initiated by the high rank of the pilot?
Perhaps airmen were rescued far away in the country, unknown to the Bergungskommando or so? Communications at that time were far less effective than nowadays.
Bergungskommando dug also a lot, hoping to recover the airmen?
Unfortunately Herget left nothing about that story.
Best regards
ClinA-78
