Re: He115/Do24 rescue 5 July 1942 PQ-17
From the KTB of Seenotdienstführer 5 (Norwegen) it is said that two americans were rescued by He 115 8L+HH of Staffel 1./406 (the plane still carried the unit markings of its previous unit Staffel 1./906). Shortly after a further 18 were picked up by Dornier Do 24T-2 W.Nr. 0042 CM+IH of 5. Seenotstaffel and 12 by Dornier Do 24T-2 W._Nr. 0047 CM+IM also from 5. Seenotstaffel.

No mention of a further two americans. All in all 32 americans rescued unhurt or with minor injuries.
