Re: Leutnant Helmut Viedebantt - 18 April 1941
Hello, Nick.
Yes, I agree- unusual loss reason - and your translation quite accurate. To me it seems that he was thrown out of the aircraft during this aerial combat. The question is then if he really was the third person in the aircraft, or if he was temping as Bordfunker for Viedebannt on this mission. We have seen examples of war correspondents and even ground personnel doing this in other instances. Interesting and intriguing story - I have a document I will check for leads later this afternoon. Regards, Andreas B
