Re: The Escape Story.

Thank you, Ed
Thatīs the strange part but itīs confirmed that the Germans got a lift with the Icelandic ship M/S Edda on itīs voayages to Sevilla,Spain, the ship leaving Iceland on the 7th of apríl, 1941. Another part of the story is that the Krigsmarine sent U-98 to follow the ship enrout. A individual saw pieces of the aircraft and the german marking on it in the autum of 1941 near the side of forced landing. A US airphotograph from 1942 confirms this. A individual confirms that the Germans where onboard the M/S Edda, two on the 22nd of mars, the other two came from the Vestmann Islands with the ship S/S Spica into Reykjavik, harbour where the four met again . If I ever have seen a cover up in one German operation, this is it. This is/was one clever clandistine operation by the Krigsmarine. The Krigsmarine aviation where not to wander so far out to see according to Luftwaffe orders of operation. But how can they have one aircraft written of the record to conceale it for ever. It so apears that the German Krigsmarine pulled all itīs string in Iceland, the Enteppen and the Abwhere, to get the crewmembers out of the hands of the english occupy forces of Iceland. Erg.Fernaufk.Gr. Putnitz is reported in Norway in 1944., with 3 Ju 88D-1 and one Ju 88 D-2, the D-2 had endurance of 515o km and that will do the trick to Iceland and return. The failiure of this mission of the Krigsmarine was the one thing they did not want the Luftwaffe OBdl to know about after all that was going on between the two. Members, I need all helping hands with this one, starting with the Ju 88 working with the Tirpitz, at that time yes, the Krigsmarine and the Luftwaffe where united but before the two where not in the same war. I have more on that later. Members, letīs have som fun and unwind this mistery.
