Re: Air attacks on civilian aircraft

There was the attack by V Gruppe/Kampfgeschwader 40, on flight 777 which killed the British film actor Leslie Howard in 1943, the myth being that it was ordered by Josef Goebbels owing to Howard's propaganda value to the Allied cause. I believe this has now been debunked.

Do we know which pilot of V./KG40 was responsible or was it a shared claim?
