Re: Fw190A8 shot down in Duclair Le Trait area 7 June 1944
hello
The location and the time of this event are confirmed by a report I have done by the French police . In the back ground the crane of Le Trait harbour are visible.
For your information , this picture was taken slightly higher but alongside the River Seine . And Le Trait was a town alongside the river Seine , with a harbourg and ship construction factory . In 1944 they produced parts of U-Boat there . Circa 5 miles from there the was alsos a seaplane factory Latecoère (still on the Siver Seine )
On 7 june 1944
At 7:04 and 7:05 , I./G26 claims to victories West Rouen ( Le Trait is West Rouen) (P-51) by Lt Söffing and Lt Günther .
