German biplane captured 11/12.Aug.1942 near Leningrad
Hello,
according to the report of 189.SD, 23:50 11.Aug.42 "Biplane Fi126" (?) was damaged by small-arms fire and landed 300 meters in front of the frontline. Airmen had escaped but the plane was towed away at night by Soviet 9.Kp of 880.SR.
The plane was almost unhurt, a bag with postal items, pilot's documents, a machine pistol, a flare gun, an officer's great-coat and officer's field jacket were captured.
Any relevant info from the German side is interesting.
Best regards,
Andrey
