Re: FW187s and Me210s over Dieppe???

Gents,

I posted a thread on the possibility of Me210's of Erprobungstaffel 210 opposing the Dieppe raid in May last year. I had found a POW interrogation report in TNA document AIR 40/2411 (not so much a WAG, but more an unsupported possibility).

The prisoner remarked that the staffel deployed three aircraft in response to the raid; one was damaged in the engine and made a 'crash landing' on return. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any further information to confirm or deny this, but seeing as how various other Netherlands based units were involved it's possible the aircraft were despatched.

Regards,

Steve

Steve was the Me210 observation made during 41 Squadron's 1235- 1405 mission?
