Re: Shot down Fw 189 on 16.5.1940

Hello

If I remember the only witness of the FW 189 I met told me it occured in the morning and sure he remembered very well the allied fighters (2-3?) firing at the German aircraft. He was even injured at one finger by a bullet splinter (?) and 'nursed' on the crashsite by... Germans as he told me. I don't check the location of the second aircraft which was recorded between Orbais and Walhain (quite large area) if I remember.

May 40 will remain for ever 'une foire d'empoigne' ;-)

Best regards
