Re: Pilot Horst Rippert claimed Saint Exupéry : 31 July 1944 / 15 March 2008 !

Philippe Castellano, the man who dug up Saint-Ex's wreck, posted on a French board that when the German HQ learned whom Rippert had shot down, they concealed the whole thing and destroyed the claim files.
That sounds strange to me.
How did they learn it was Saint-Ex and when?
