Re: Luftwaffe fighters over Brest 20th August 1941
Bonjour Ian,
In fact, F/Lt Sidney Dowse jumps in parachute and fall into the sea, to 250m from Brest. He swam and was made prisoner by German who led it at the base of Lanvéoc.
You will find all this information in the superb book of Erik Mombeeck " JG2 Richthofen" volume 2 (1941). This day of 20th August 1941 is described perfectly and, the icing on the cake, there is the testimony of Sydney Downse himself telling his terrible day !
Cordially,
Fredo
