LW Ace PoW from BoB ‘Exchanged’ in 1943 –becomes a Bomber Killer!!!
Lt. Walter Blume (14) was a JG26 ace of 6 victories when he became a POW during the Battle of Britain on 18 Aug 40 after crash-landing severly WIA in Canterbury (2 BoB Claims). However, he recovered and was exchanged/repatriated in Oct 43, where he flew further ops with JG27 to be further credited with 8 Viermots! Does anyone know the motivation behind this exchange and were any other pilots/notables involved in this or other arrangements?
Thanks, Rob Romero Last edited by Rob Romero; 13th December 2007 at 08:56.
