Re: Fact or Fiction? 13/8/40
In Luftwaffe's casualty reports for August 12, 1940, there is no loss of a "Count" (German: "Graf") or any other obviously aristocratic person. Not even a "von" in the name. But: on this day a Ju 88 of the 3rd /KG 51 with the crew of observer Oblt. Hans GRAF was lost during the attack on Worthing. Four men were initially considered MIA. Later, one was re-registered as a POW and three as KIA, including Graf. Interestingly, Hans Graf was 24 years old on the day of his death. Could he be the ominous "Count".
