Luftwaffe Airman kill fellow POW

[Brian Bines]

I came accross a Canadian site which shows POW Uffz.Dr. Karl Lehmann 1-4-06 to 11-9-44 of the Africa Korps was killed by fellow prisoners. Four men were later hanged on the 18-12-1946 for his murder, the site shows the following I have put what I believe is the when they were shot down/captured :-

Fw. Willi Muller b.18-2-1914 flew 87 missions before being shot down by a Spitfire near Glasgow = Bs Fw Willi Muller of 2/KFG106 shot down by a Defiant 6/7-5-1944

Fw Heinrich Busch b. 18-12-14 flew 26 missions before his aircraft hit a baloon over Norfolk = Ff Fw Heinrich Busch of 4/KG53 aircraft hit by PAC rocket over Watton 17/18-2-1941

Ofw Bruno Perzonowsky b 31-12-1911 flew 60 missions, shot down over Wales 13/14.4.41 = B Ofw. Bruno Perzonowsky He111 H5 of 3/KG28 crashed Snowdonia 13/14-4-1941.

The fourth man hanged being an Uffz Walter Wolf Africa Korps.
Apparantly Karl Lehmann a professor of langauges had expressed anti-nazi views.
To my mind a rather sad story with the five deaths, of men who had already been fortunate to avoid death,
