Re: 1/Kü.Fl.Gr.106 on 13.04.1940.
Good morning,
These are the two relevant documents from Bundesarchiv: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1442 http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/album....pictureid=1443 My interpretation of the 21.6 correction #118 is that 1. the pilot, Hattenbach, was shot while in captivity, 2. the beobachter , Bärner, was taken to England as a POW, and 3. the two other, unnamed, crewmen were "returned" (liberated?). best regards, Jim
