Re: FW 200 crashed 17.03.1941 in France
Hello gentlemen,
Here is the additional information I have about the crash of the Fw 200C-3 (FK+AK), crashed on 17th March 1941 :
- precise place of the crash : the village named Plogoff (not Audierne) and, inside this village, the hamlet named "Roscoff"
- time of the crash : 15h20
- fate of Reg.Rat. Hermann Haller : badly wounded in the crash (not bailing out over the sea) ; he died on 11th of June 1941 at 13h15, at the German military hospital of Paris-Clichy, because of his serious wounds ; first buried at the Paris-Clichy cemetery, next re-buried at the German cemetery of Champigny-Saint André (Normandy)
I was in touch with direct French witnesses of the crash, including a young boy (3 years old in 1941), whose the house was completely destroyed by the aircraft. By chance, this boy was "only" wounded and recovered from his wounds.
Best regards from a hot West of France
Pierre
