Re: Mistel raid, 3 October 1944
Laurent,
Are you sure about Heckmanns first name?
There is a Heckmann buried at Ysselsteyn in the Netherlands according to the VDK.
He is Obgefr. Walter Heckmann. Born at 07.03.1908 and died at 02.10.1944.
Walter Heckmann ruht auf der Kriegsgräberstätte in Ysselsteyn (Niederlande) .
Endgrablage: Block CG Reihe 11 Grab 262
A second difference is his rank. This person is a Obgefr. and not a Fw.
But, you never know.
As far is we know now there was one Ju 87 crash at Dutch territory at October 2nd, 1944.
A Ju 87D-5 of Stab/NSG 2 W.Nr. 100366 has made a crashlanding near Groesbeek.
Groesbeek is south of Nijmegen.
Crew with Ofw. H.Rudolph and Lt. W.Hoch. was wounded.
