Re: Luftwaffe pilots shot while parachuted
Hello
I am still puzzled by the info I read from Roba's book ("la guerre aérienne dans la région de Charleroi") when he wrote Oblt. Georg-Peter EDER (5./JG 2) was shot up after his bailout (from Bf 109 G-6 WNr.20733) on the 5th November 1943. His staffel transfered this day from Deelen to Creil and met some Spitfire in the Binche area (Belgium). Eder was wounded and sent to Jemappes Lazarett I./617 before being moved to Paris-Clichy for recovering and came back to combat in February '44. Does anymore have a proof EDER was shot down this day (and gunfired beneath his chute)? Or his loss was more a matter of a technical problem ? It seems there is no allied claim which may match this. Sorry to insert this unverified fact in this topic. I can open a post following moderator suggestion. Best regards ClinA-78 |
