Re: Uffz Sawallisch JG 27

Hello,

Otto Sawallisch was not killed when his Bf109E-3 crashed in Belgium, he went on to serve with JG.27 in Africa, he was thought to have committed suicide on August 19th 1942 due to possibillity of court martial arising from questions about false claims
The reason for his crash in Belgium on 16 may 1940 is "DCA,atterrissage force" noted in "Les pertes de la Chasse allemande de jour en Belgique 1940 - 1945 Tome 1" by Pierre Watteeuw
Cheers
Bruce Lander
