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

Hello Laurent,

It's come from a Gendarmerie's report. And Le Hom is a hameau of Heudreville-sur-Eure so it is the same village.

"Tuesday the 11th of June around 11:00, a parachutist bailed out from a german aircraft while flying over Heudreville-sur-Eure. This airman landed at the hamlet Le Hom close to the factory Vigier. Soon after his landing, he was killed by french troops who retreated toward the National Road 154 from Louviers to EVreux. This parachutist who is buried in the garden of the factory Vigier at the hamlet Le Hom is identified as :
G.E.F./R. Hans GORTZEN-F.P.N.25.797/E
12-J-R637-Gef 146.40"

Just to know but the 11 june was well a tuesday, so maybe there is a mistake on the volksbund date, maybe on the french report...

Thanks for your suggestions

Loic
