In December 1943 the Fa 223 V12, after completing a long cross-country flight from Germany, was flown to Mont Blanc to perform a rescue of 17 people trapped on the mountain. Unfortunately, a mechanical link failure resulted in a rotor disintegrating, and, although the machine touched down on its wheels, it was hurled against an embankment and the crew (a pilot and a passenger) were killed.
The crash was at around 1345 hrs on 4 December 1943 near the sanatorium "Martel de Janville" at Passy, Haute-Savoie.
I am searching the names of both crew and their unit.
Thanks in advance
