Shot down over France - June 8th 1944
Hello from Canada,
I'd appreciate replies from anyone that has any information/reference material as to the likely German Unit/pilot (?) that might've been responsible for shooting down my fathers aircraft. On June 7th 1944 he was an Air Gunner on a Halifax bomber with 432 SQN (RCAF) when they went on an operation to Acheres France. In the early morning of June 8th they were shot down near Bauvais France. I understand that there was quite a sizable Luftwaffe base in the area. Apparently there was a twin-engine fighter seen on their tail just before they were shot down. I'd like to find out more about the events of that night. Thank you
