Another LW machine claimed by the SAS - Aout 1944
Hello.
Another claim from the book about the French SAS I just finished reading was (quoting in French):
"Un ultimatum est dressé à la garnison d'EGLETONS, composé d'environ 300 SS et de quelques unités auxiliares. Les allemands le rejettent. Le 14 Aout 1944, les parachutistes SAS encerclent l'Ecole Normale, centre de résistance principale de l'ennemi. La Luftwaffe vient appuyer la garnison assiégée. Chansel et Rudwasser (OBS: Guess those were French SAS) abattent un Heinkel He 111, bombardier bimoteur."
On the 17th August 1944, a Mosquito Squadron bombarded EGLESTON...was it 305 or 107 Squadron?
Do we have the Heinkel 111 loss recorded on the 14 Aout 1944?? From which unit was it? It seems it was shot down by the SAS from the ground...Any details about the He 111 most welcomed
