Re: 4000lb bomb
Cheers hanshauprich, edwest2, Marcel and Snautzer
The information I’ve gathered so far suggests: Kdo.Flugh.Ber. 13/VII or Luftgaukommando XIV Gruppe I c were responsible for documenting/recovering the aircraft that crashed near Hanau.
These documents talk about the recovery of wreckage, bodies, personal belongings, electronic equipment and machine guns. However there’s no mention of Feuerwerker, Munitionslager or Cookie bombs.
This is a massive problem with my research as the aircraft I’m investigating was fully loaded with bombs:
“We were still carrying one 4000lb and four 1000lb bombs, and our TIs.
As I closed the doors and we headed into the blackness beyond the
target, a blacker shadow suddenly materialized right in front of us, grew in a
second to the huge outline of an aircraft, and hit us with tremendous
violence.”
