Re: Ltn Hermann Leube
Hello all. Having carried out extensive research on the topic of Leube and his claim, he did not shoot down Lancaster W5000. I am now in a position to say beyond reasonable doubt, that the wreckage of Lancaster III W5000 has been found. It lies buried in meadows to the SW of Hamburg and as far as I can tell the crew remain with it. It would seem that the a/c exploded on impact and wreckage has been found over a wide area. Some of the pieces include a broken crankshaft with pistons and liners and markings suggesting it was a Packard Merlin. Also, a machine gun in excellent condition has been found. The exact location will not be disclosed. Tony
