Re: Christer Bergstrom BOB book

Well I got my copy a couple of days ago and have had a cursory glance through certain parts relating to Erprobungsgruppe 210 (no surprise there, then!).

Page 237: 27 September 1940. "...The Gruppenkommandeur, Hauptmann Martin Lutz, fell in the air over Bristol. A little further north, the ace Oberleutnant Wilhelm-Richard Rössiger perished in the flames of his burning Bf 110..."

I have a serious problem with the above two sentences. For the following reasons. It is clearly known that Martin Lutz's Bf 110 came down at Bussey Stool Farm, near Tarrant Gunville, certainly not over Bristol. Also, Rossiger was not shot down 'further north of Bristol', but was shot down into the Channel.

For the life of me, I cannot fathom out how Christer came to the conclusions in the above two quoted sentences, since the confirmed information has been 'out there' for decades... Sorry Christer, but this kind of totally incorrect information in a modern day book harks back to the errors and mistakes of books many decades ago, when far less information was known by researchers and authors.
