Re: Seeking info about a German airman killed by French troops - June 1940

Hello Loic,

Which king of report is it ? Because there were a lot of reports of "german parachutists" and "fifth columnist" shot during this campaign, and most were probably not German at all, just non-French speaking foreigners.

In my various books on the air losses during this campaign, I can't find any Hans Görtzen.

And you have one report saying he was killed on 11 June 1940 in Heudreville, while the Volksbund shows a Hans Görtzen being killed three days later more than 60 km more west, at Le Hom.

By the way Heudreville was on the front line on 11 or 12 June 1940, and was left by retreating French troops in the evening of the 12th.
