What I do know however is that the father of the Hauptmann in question had contacts with Allied agents. It seems that he even transmited a radio message ( Propaganda ) later, after have landed ( I do not have my personal material with me right now, so please forgive me being so vague, ok? I contacted several Historians about that fact and do have a large amount of information, but at home, some 250km away from where I am now flying...You will have to wait a couple of days for my full reply ).
However, perhaps other acknowledged Historians do have more to say about that flight and that of the misteryous Dornier Do 217 landing at UK!
Yours very friend and sincerely

Oblt. Herber Schmid was not an allied spy/agent and neither was his Bf Ofw. Paul Rosenberger with whom Schmid decided to defect. The last crewmember Ofw Erich Kantwill was not told about this. He simply had to follow along. And his father was'ent a spy either. He was a grosser in Nordhausen. Schmid participated in the spanish war in Legion Condor in 1937 with 168 bomberflights!
He had EK 1 and 2, Frontflugspange in Gold, Spanienkreuz in Gold, Cruz de Guerra, Erinnerungsmedaille Östereich and Sudetenland, Verwundeteabzeichen in Schwartz! Yes he did make a propagandaspech in the BBC!
