Mistel raid, 3 October 1944

Robert and Jaap, thanks for all this data.

I will try to find the Mistel book.

Jaap, about the Ju 87 loss you describe, it seems to me that Groesbeck was in Allied hands in October 1944, so should I understand that the German crew was wounded, and captured ? Or only wounded, and returned to German lines ?

Laurent,
just got some info from the cemetary in Bramsche, according to this Horst Polster died in Dissen, a small town about 20 km SE of Osnabrück.
BTW, would you be interested in a photo of the grave?
Best wishes
Robert

Hi robert, thanks for the offer, and sorry for the late reply, my Internet provider dropped me (totally) last week without any forewarning. It seems they are changing their network, and were not able to transfer me, so decide I was no more an interesting customer. Of course, they didn't send me anything (except the normal bill) and it was only when I complained that I had no more service that I learned that...

To come back to your offer, thanks, but I'm not interested in grave pictures.

Best regards

Laurent
