Re: looking for information on a crew of a Legion Condor He111
Thank you. Is there photo of the other two crew member's gravestone?
In the other hand it is my guess Lt.Claus Bötker was not the pilot but the observer. In most cases in LC crews (also in WWII) the airplane's commander was the most qualified as in the case of observers (usually officers) the pilot was considered in Luftwaffe a merelly a 'chauffeur' and could be sergeants and NCO's.
I have entries in Flugbucher about Heinkel 25-12 when 'collected' by the VB/88 in Seville after his ferry flight from Germany, via Palma de Mallorca island, at the beguinning of August 1937. This airplane was built in Heinkel plant some weeks before, according the data plate found by you.
This plane was named when in the 1.K/88 as 'Armin Höyer'. That's explain in the police report the fuse fragment with the tittle 'NHOYER'.
I have sent you a message to your email address
Best regards
Francisco
