Re: Werknummer + Squadron He 111 Moelders died on

Hihotte,
Thank you a lot for giving us the final piece of information: the name of the radio-operator! Yes, it is indeed a piece of History that nobody take in account. Was it because it was a pilot error or simply fatality?
I think that being a former Condor Legion pilot, Oblt Kolle would not made great mistakes. The sole one I consider on this last flight was that Moelders insisted on the take off, even knowing that the pilot of the Heinkel was against it for weather reasons! Foolish...We heard a lot of that nowadays: people tha die because of pressure and because do not want to loose time....Statistics in Brazil say about 40,000 killed a year in car accidents!
Well, thank you again for the name of the radio operator!
Bye
A. Baumgartner
