Oblt Einsiedel executed 1942

Brian,

Now I know that he belonged to 3 (F)/123 and was mentioned in the book the "Easter Bunnies". You did not state this information before and since I don't have the book in question, did not make the connection.

In view of the fact he was shot and his grave site is known, I tend to agree with you that he may have "shown lack of fighting spirit" and paid the ultimate penalty.

It may be necessary to post this question in one of the German Luftwaffe Websites as someone with more information may have the necessary facts.

Hello Carlos,

That was my first post on this (Brian Bines) the Thread was started by another Brian. The book Easter Bunnies has a photo of a parade of Luftwaffe Airmen and is captioned ' Execution of Oblt. Einsiedl at Morlaix '. I beleive the original book in German was called 'Eiserne Dritte', but do not know if it clarifies the reason for the fate of this unfortunate airman,

Regards

Hello Gentleman,

i was flying over the time-periode in question, but nothing to read about Oblt. Einsiedel in the german edition of "easter bunnies" neither.
There´s even no picture of the execution like in the english one.

Maybe if the author is still alive he would be able to provide more information? I've also thought about posting this on a German Website?

Hi Kaki

Please do. Perhaps there were others, also?

Cheers

Brian (the other one!)

I suppose the enemy could be in air combat or on the ground against partisans

Hello Brian, for sure not against partisans this sort of man don't exist in France till 1943, resistance making just intelligence at that time
