Re: Hptm Hans Autenrieth
According to Night Airwar and the 'K' report the crew baled out and were captured by Partisans . While Uffz, Georg Helbig was handed over to a POW cage near Cherbourg, Hpt. Autenrieth was after a few days taken into a woods where it looked like he was going to be shot.However a U.S unit turned up and he was handed to them, both Autenrieth and Helbig were sent to the U.K
As regards the third crewman Fw. Rudolf Adam it is believed he was killed by the Partisans and I think is still missing.
