Re: Egon Albrecht Bf110C-4 WNr 3666

Yes Michael,

They were born here from German fathers (sometimes Mothers as well) who were working and living there.

There are at least some 15+ such Brazilians that flew for the LW...with much more that served the Whermacht, Kriegsmarine, SS, etc.

I know at least 2 LW airmen from Chili and there were a couple from other Southern Countries as well (if memory doest not play a trick on me).

Of course, the contingent of Brazilian born that served the RAF, RCAF, SAAF is much greater...I have some 120+ biographies started about those...in 6-7 volumes....a long work to Honour them properly...some 1,600 written pages in more than 12 years...

Clostermann for instance was also born in Curitiba...the same town of Gomm and Egon Albrecht!

Adriano
