He 111 crash in France on 20 January 1945
Hello,
According to local lore, a German bomber (two engine Heinkel) crashed on 20 January 1945 at Aujac (Charente-Maritime) after hitting trees due to engine trouble. The aircraft and its passengers crashed in a river, the "gourd d'Aujac". It was carrying letters sent to Admiral Michahelles (commander of Royan Festung) and money to pay the garrison: the latter was never found after the crash (or probably found by someone who did not report it to the authorities). Such a loss should be a He 111 of TGr 30 flying to the German pockets on the Atlantic coast, here Royan. Can someone confirm TGr 30 lost an aircraft this day, and give me details (WNr, crew names and fates) ? Thanks in advance
