Re: Red-Cross marked He59s July 1940
Brian,

A quick count up of Luftwaffe aircrew rescued by Seenot. aircraft or launch and Kriegsmarine vessels from what I have noted comes to 176 men in the July-Oct. period. I'd use this for guidance only as someone who has gone into Seenotdienst history may have a more accurate figure.
Just out of interest on the subject did any other Air Force attempt Air Sea Rescue under Red Cross markings,

Regards

Brian Bines
