Oblt. Paul Gommer KG40 .

[schnellmeyer]

Many thanks to all who have posted on this topic , however my original question has not been answered . Can anybody confirm if Paul Gommer did attack the ship on 29.12.40 and can anybody help with any details on Paul Gommer .
The crew of FW 200 C-3 F8+AH that crashed in Ireland on 5.2.41 were as follows , Oblt. Paul Gommer ( aircraft commander) , Ofw Willi Dose ( Pilot) , Reg.Rat Dr. Edmond Herrstrom ( Meteorologist) , Fw. Max Hohaus ( Radio operator), Ofw Werner Albrecht ( Flight engineer ) Gefr. Walter Clasen (Gunner) .
Fw. Max Hohaus was the only survivor from the crash , he suffered terrible burns and returned to Germany in late 1943 in a exchange of POW's organised by the Red Cross . Max passed away in the mid 1980's .
I believe the loss of F8+AH on 5.2.41 was a result of bad weather and the fact that the plane was flying low at the time it hit Cashelfeane Hill .
I would be very grateful if anybody could help with any other details on this crash , thanks.

Can anybody else please help here before I close my file on this crash , thanks.

I feel that you will have to close your file on this-I am afraid that Gommer was just another pilot about whom little is or will be known

Looks like you are right Chris , pity as it would have been nice to be able to tell Gommer's daughter a little about her father . Well at least I now have a photo of Paul Gommer . Thanks to all who posted on this topic.
