Re: He 59 1518 from SNF.Kdo 6, Fw. Paul Erdmann
To warm up this old thread:
Regarding his flightlog he wasn't killed (mysterious). The a/c did an water landing (sea: 3 - 4) near Rethymno on 21.05.1941 and then destroeyd by an machine gun from land (info from another thread). The crew saved himself with an rubber dinghy on the beach and fought then with paratroopers 10 days. 1 person of the crew was killed, 1 wounded. In acknowledgement of this action he got the EK II, later the EK 1, the "Kreta-Band" and the "Lw.-Erdkampfabzeichen" too. The end of the war he had in Denmark, in Guldborg. But why he didn't return to his family?

Rasmussen
