Barrage Balloon collisions: "One of the most remarkable escapes from a balloon 'strike' happened on Monday July 22nd 1940 over Plymouth and was made by Hauptmann Hajo Hermann, Staffelkapitan of 7/KG30 who, in trying to avoid a balloon, actually stalled on top of it, but with unbelievable luck was able to gain control of his Junkers Ju 88 again after falling off the balloon upside down"

Interesting website of a NE War Diary including many incidents..chronologically researched including Bombing, aircraft crashes, deaths with locations and dates and times..

Does anyone know info on Hauptmann Hajo Hermann, Staffelkapitan of 7/KG30 and what became of him did his luck hold or was he killed later?
