Re: The Escape Story.
Halló, Eggert
Truth is sometimes so unbelivable that it takes years to swallow. The German escape story is one. I did not belive it to, neither the man that heard the story in the first place told by the unknown German pilot in Desember 22nd. 1978 at Uniklinik, Freiburg. If it was not for the medical doctor and his version I would have throne this away along ago but the German pilot haunted me in looking into all sides of this mystery. The Icelandic doctor however did write some of the points down for the sake of courtesy aginst this old German veteran trying to tell of his adventures in Iceland in 1941. The doctor took his memo paper and placed it in a book where the paper was found in the spring of 1994. Again the old German haunted the memories of the medical doctor and had him write the first version of the story in an Icelandic newspaper in june. 1994, calling it, "Revelation of a war secret". At that time the old German stopped haunting the medical doctor but started haunting me. The medical doctor referd to the story, as a man´s last wish.
The VERBAND magazine articel was not responded to in the USA but the big surprise came afther Hugo Löhr of 1(F)120 and his old Luftwaffe war kameraden of all the units, Wekusta, (F) 121. 122.123.124. Gruppen and the KG 26 and KG 40 sent out a circular asking around of this strange story but nothing, no one knew nothing. Now the old German veteran magazine, " KAMERADEN" is about to ask around in it´s November issue into Krigsmarine aviation and its units and the escape story, so this is not over. It is possible that one of the crew members could be around somewhere.?
Eggert, even after 30 years of you collecting data, you can still expect to get surprises and truth will swallow you like the rest of us. You will not change the fact that 4 Germans where running around in Iceland in the name of the Krigsmarine in 1941. More later.
