Re: Heinkel crew shot on beach during The Battle of Britain

While there are a (very) few documented instances of German crewmen being killed after landing in this country, this incident is one of the more persistent 'legends' of the Battle of Britain period. Four of the crew were killed in the air - though the aircraft was fired on by troops while landing. I published a full account in After The Battle magazine No.23 about 30 years ago.
