Hello to all

is there any German reports on the recovery of the remains and aircraft of P/O. Eugene Red Tobin of No.71 Eagle squadron RAF who was shot down in combat on 7 September 1941 flying Spitfire MK.VB W8301

POPOCATEPELT II came down on a hill near Boulogne at about 1715 hours, he was probably shot down by Adolf Galland or Kurt Bohn both pilots claimed Spitfires close to Boulogne France. Galland was his 83rd claim of the war and Bohn was later killed in action in April 1943

any help or references will be appreciated

Thanks

Hello Santiago,

neither in JFV 5 and 7 (loss of Fw Bohn on 25 Apr 1942 in Fw 190 A-2 WNr. 5231 yellow 5 one day after his fifth confirmed victory) nor in the JG 26 chronicle of Josef Priller are pictures of him.
