Heinkel crew shot on beach during The Battle of Britain

[Jon]

Hi
Thanks for all the responses.
I remember talking with an old chap in the North East years ago, he claimed a German Bomber had crashed on the beach during the war near Sunderland. One of the crew so he said was trapped in the aircraft and as the tide rose the desperate attempts by the British soldiers to free him were failing and he was going to drown. So this man said, the senior Luftwaffe crewman authorised for the crewman trapped to be shot rather than drown, he said he was shot him from behind point blank with a Lee Enfield for a quick death.

A horrible story but also a nice story if you see what i mean with honour being shown from both sides.

And Franek, i agree i think if i was a Pole in WW2 i would have learned very quickly to say it in English. Also i have tried several times to email over the Sgt Bann letters but failed every time. I think the good old post is the only option.
