Re: Seeking info about a German airman killed by French troops - June 1940
One that might be considered is from Peter Cornwall's book Battle Over France Then and Now this shows on 11-6-40 Do17M of St.St.KG28 crash landed following fighter attack over Le Harve crew believed unhurt - the Luftwaffe GQM report of 17-6-40 page 2 item 54 shows this aircraft as 100% with one crewman missing on 11-6-40. Whether this indicates a man baling out is not stated , however the change note on GQM dated 9-9-40 page 2 item 31 states strike out one man missing . I cannot tell whether this means the original missing report was wrong or if it means the missing has been changed because a body was found. If Gortzen did bale out on 11-6-40 it may not have been reported until 14-6-40, hence the difference in dates, when I assume the Germans advanced in the area.
Perhaps a request to WAST for info. might answer this ,
