Crash of Walter Matoni

[Jochen Prien]

Dear Kaczmarek and Peglar,

thank you for your responses. Kaczmarek - where does your infomation concerning the loss of Bourguignon come from ? Peglar - would you be so kind to let me have a scan of the photo you mentioned for publication im JFV 13/IV ? If so, please send me an e-mail to my private address jochen@kjprien.de.

We still have the mystery around the date - 5th or 6th ? It may be worth noting that Walter Matoni did not sign the loss returns of 5 December 1944; these was signed by a Hauptmann as GrKdr. i.V., which makes it seem very likely that Walter Matoni was in fact injured on that very day.

This should be Hptm. Kurt Hoffmann in his function as Gr. Kdr. i.V. at this time.
