Re: Wilhelm Makrocki I/Zerstörergeschwader 26
Hi David
According to 'Air War for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete' (which I co-authored many moons ago), Makrocki's Bf110 was shot down by 300-ton coastal patrol vessel 'Syvern' in Suda Bay. 'Syvern' was damaged in the strafing attack and limped back into harbour with only two of her crew unwounded. Makrocki's observer/gunner on this occasion was Hptm Heinrich Eisgruber (aged 47) who was also killed.
One assumes that Eisgruber did not normally fly on operations. What do we know about him?
Cheers
Brian
