Re: Sabotage at 7./JG 54, 11 June 1941

Hello Laurent...
I do not have information...but have you thought about this being a pilot error during a take off or landing? I mean, the Obergefreiter Gerke taking off or landing the KL 35 and loosing control and coliding with the parked Bf 109?!
I have seen RAF reports of similar accidents happening...so I thought this to be a reasonable probability.
Sadly I do not have JG 54 details, but the Family name of GERKE seems to be familiar.
Please, I am not jumping the "sabotage" probability...even by a German military man....but...it seems a bit "off the context" early in June 1941 (they were wining on almost all the theaters, etc...high morale, etc..)
Humbly yours Laurent...
Adriano
