Re: [Study] November 23, 1939 : Luftwaffe losses / crash sites over France (I need your help !)

Hello,

For the number 3,
I have an other crash site = MACKER in the Moselle département (57).
This village is 3 km south of Boulay-Moselle and 20 km north east from Metz. Source for this location = journal de marche (diary) of the 4th escadrille of the groupe de chasse II/5.
I have noted in my files that one of the crew survived (the gunner) but I have been unable to find the exact source.

Just a minor precision : in november 1939 de Mongolfier was "sergent-chef" (not adjudant). He was so willing to shoot at the Heinkel that he bent his propeller against an Hurricane !

Regards.
RB
