Re: Heinkel crew shot on beach during The Battle of Britain
Jon
I recall a story by the late Czesław Tarkowski, who, downed by Germans, bailed out and landed on an old oak near some sort of castle or palace. Inhabitants, visibly very shaken and well armed with forks and shotguns, arrived, and apparently were very pleased to hear 'f***k off' with the best possible 'English' accent as a reply to their question: 'are you German'?
Similar story to yours concerned a JG26 pilot who was trapped in a burning cockpit. The aircraft was downed by 234 Sqn but I cannot recall the name at the moment.
Cheers
PS I will drop you an email within a few days.
