Larry,
A concise reply to your post 21 regarding Matthes on 25/9/40. We have the photos of his belly-landing back at Cherbourg in 3U+JR.

Larry,

Have you tried searching under 'Der Adler No 20 - 1 October 1940' you should get the chance to temp. download this edition. The story however, possibbly for dramatic effect, speaks of a third crewman '' Mit Ihm hat ein Tapferer Flieger im nassen Grabe den Heldentod gefunden '' who drowned despite a survivor going back for him. The photo under the headline Tod and Leben seems to indicate a splinter camouflage, if you check this out what do you think,

Regards

In my opinion NE+TD arrived late at Cherbourg probably oct. or nov.

Hi Remy,

we have the KTB and it was in action already in early September so probably also in August.

Regards

Robert
