Luftwaffe ASR recoveries August/September 1949
Hi guys
Can anyone recommend any books/articles[/websites (in English or German) covering Luftwaffe ASR operations (recovery of Luftwaffe/RAF airman) during August/September 1940? Names, dates, reports of recoveries? Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers Brian |

Re: Luftwaffe ASR recoveries August/September 1949
I think you asked this many moons ago. There was a general article on German ASR (by me and another by Karl Born) but never seen a list of rescues, dates or names

Hi Chris and others
That's the reason for my latest inquiry! 80-odd years after the epic battle, no further detailed information? Cheers Brian |

Not many moons just 2 years!
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...&highlight=ASR It would appear that this will still remain unanswered unless Robert has managed to skim the files of which he mentions BTW the war was well over by 1949................. |

You can find summaries based on Y-Service intercepts in National Archives HW 13/28: "German Naval Air Activity Vol. II: Carrier- and land-based units (28 Dec 1939–31 Dec 1940)"

Born's book is good but not as specific as to who picked up whom in August-September 1940
