Re: The death of Gen.Ltn Wilhelm Süssmann & staff - Glider crash 20.05.1941
Yes, I forgot to add to the text that this incident had to do with the invasion of Crete. You are right about he could not bail about, especially not from a glider, but the hole point in sending them in a glider was that they were not dependent on landing on an airdrome, but in the terrain like the 230 other gliders that were used against the invasion of Crete.
