Re: British war crimes involving Luftwaffe aircrew 31 August 1940
A well known BOB incident occurred on 15 September 1940. The details are described in Parker's Luftwaffe Crash Archive, Vol. 4 p. 430. Do 17Z Wn.2361 F1+FH of 1./KG 76 was downed over central London and "the pilot baled out and came down at Kennington, where he was fiercely attacked by the crowds, who tore his parachute and harness to shreds". Obltn Robert Zehbe 53576/364 severely wounded, died 16th September 1940. Brookwood, Surrey.
