Re: He 111 crew murdered
Pieter,
'KG 55 In Focus' by Hall and Quinlan also has a picture of the bellylanded GI+DM and of Ltn Hans Junk . The text states Junk was hit in the head and died instantly Uffz Thone , Uffz Ege and Gef. Wendt were killed with only the Observer Uffz. Rasper surviving. Crash location is given as near Rethel NE of Reims. If this crew was the the one that is the subject of this thread as your well reasoned post suggests then it would appear that three Luftwaffe airmen met this unfortunate fate. It would also appear that Rasper may have landed the Heinkel if the pilot Junk? died instantly in the fighter attack. The incident was first reported in a book published in 1941 when the exact truth may well have been exaggerated, or the story added to with the telling.
