Re: Time over target ~ Peernemunde August 1943
Hello Gnome!
You added quite a lot of NEW data!
The fact that the bodies were recovered and given a burial is of interest. Also quite amazing the fact that you found that the body of the Lancaster crashed almost over Peenemunde - not on the sea.
I will try to have a good look at all the claims to discuss with you later. By the way, could you scann for me the Flight Plan? I could calculate for you the ETA over Peenemunde ( will try to get the winds data to calculate it properly ).
But the main problem is that we do not know IF the German combat claims were so precise. There are - as you will see - so many claims OVER Peenemunde itself...without any other clues. And we can imagine that it take some minutes for a Lancaster to fall down from 8,000 or more feets!
I am sure we can find the victor, checking and re-checking ALL that claims...I will have a careful look at them and try to help you.
Sincerely yours
Adriano
