Re: Crash B26 on 11.April 1945 near Cologne
Hello, Rolland,
Concerns Aschersleben Mission Report: This is exactly the question I ask myself....was it just Hopkins plane or was it the whole box that got lost and went off course ? According to our school chronicle of April 11th, 1945, there is only talk of one plane. Also Martha Gellhorn describes only one airplane.....However, I also know a statement of an eyewitness who speaks of a " unit of three airplanes " . The G-2 report also states that at the same time Hopkins plane crashes, the town of UCKENDORF is in flames after a B-26 bomb was dropped. Uckendorf lies exactly in the flight path from Kriegsdorf ( Flak ) to the crash site. I cannot imagine that Hopkins dropped bombs in the last second.......So I assume at least a second plane...... greetings Manni
