Re: RAF Dakota loss Sept-Oct 1944

Only if we follow Rohmer’s assertion that the Dakota was shot down over enemy territory, then KG512 cannot be a candidate.

This a/c crashed near Nieuwpoort (Nieuport), Belgium, in the coastal area liberated some two weeks before and with no enemy action involved.

Also, and still referring to Rohmer’s book “Generally Speaking”, at what stage or how did he learn that the pilot had been flying to a wrong Diest and so came over German held land? A returned/evaded survivor of the crash? There weren’t any on the KG512.
