Juha or other experts - Finnish Winter War
Hi guys
The gist of the following was sent to me by Franek. Can anyone add or amend? Finnish-Russian Winter War 1939-40 An unusual and tragic incident occurred on 13 January 1940, when Italian volunteer pilot S/Sgt Diego Manzochhi landed his fighter near Valkeala. Unable to speak Finnish, Manzochhi was seen and heard by a civilian shouting at militaman who had been summoned to the location, whereupon one, assuming him to be an enemy, opened fire and killed him. Later, his aircraft (FA-22?) was found nearby, clearly marked with blue swastika in white roundel. Cheers Brian
