Luftwaffe loss? 12/10/1940.
Hello all.
This is an extract from a book entitled 'Jersey under the swastika' by P.F.Le Sauteur and it details a possible Luftwaffe loss that i'm interested in. “Raids over the west country were again beginning from the airport in the Island, though they were not on such a big scale as hitherto. One of the raiders, on the night of October 12th, got into difficulties, most probably having been damaged, and baled out his bomb load about midway between Victoria College House, the Headquarters of the Commandant, and the Government House, where he was staying. All the bombs landed in the fields, and, beyond windows and other minor damage, they fell harmlessly. The plane eventually managed to reach the airport, but it crashed in landing, and was completely burn out.” This incident is also mentioned in Sinel's book 'The German Occupation of Jersey' and Le Quesne's 'The Occupation of Jersey, Day by Day'. However, I have been unable to find a matching Luftwaffe loss for this date. Could anyone please help? Steve. Last edited by cheesey; 21st March 2008 at 09:52. |
