Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942

[Brian Bines]

Moomraker's post has Georg Einsiedel as shot Paris area on 22-5-42 and the book Kaki3152 quotes has him missing over the Atlantic on the same date. Looking in the QM's returns there appears to be no aircraft loss with him on board in the period, and the book 'Easter bunnies 'has shot for cowardice in the face of the enemy', rather than desertion. I suppose the enemy could be in air combat or on the ground against partisans. Is it known if he was aircrew or not. On 3-5-42 a Ju88D-5 of 3(F)/123 crashlanded at Lannion with combat damage, could Einsiedel have been in such an incident and then denounced by a fellow crewman for lack of fighting spirit. When I read Easter Bunnies apart from the captioned photo the situation was not enlarged on in the text. I believe there is a German version of the book does this contain more info.
