Re: Heinz Bartels trio down on 23rd April 1944
Hi Horst,
I wanted to say that the Spitfire parts Minima has found must belong to some aircraft which came down in that area much later. Spitfires were frequently in action over Slovenia from late 1944 till the end of the war. My tip would be Mk.IX MJ525 of 73.Sqn which went down near Prelok on 4 March 1945.
I know that bartels fell in December, indeed many years ago I've read Girbig's book "Vermisst" and how he was found many years later.
