Re: Pilot Horst Rippert claimed Saint Exupéry : 31 July 1944 / 15 March 2008 !
My wife was just watching "Le Journal" on the French channel TV 5 and there appeared a story about divers recovering artifacts from Saint Exupery's Lightning from the bottom of the Med off Marseille. Then there was a telephone interview with Horst Rippert recounting his downing of Saint Exupery. Rippert was speaking in German and there was a translater speaking over him in French, so it was difficult for me to follow the details. Apparently Rippert is still alive so perhaps some Luftwaffe expert such as Dr. Prien could get to the bottom of this. Persanally I found it fascinating that such a revelation would appear so long after the fact and apparently out of the blue, so to speak.
