Hello,

There is a few years a person of the area of Fougères gave me a testimony on the crash landing of a German aircraft bomber on the territory of Landivy. The North-East of Fougères on August 4, 1944. Members of the crew having evacuated their aircraft above Louvigné of the Désert, the North-East of Fougères.
August 5 a body of an aviator was found in a field, the nonopen parachute.
The witness brought this precision to me, the aviator had with him a satchel containing of papers.

Research on the loss of this bomber and the body of this aviator brought me to the following conclusion. Loss of the 88 G1 (WNr. 712343) Pilot Hptm Hans Autenrieth.
When with the body of the aviator found on August 5 44, it acts certainly of Uffz. Rudolf, Adam. Here precise details following my mail of Wast in Berlin. Rudolf Adam, Feldwebel, geboren am 21.07.1919. Truppenteil : 6. Staffel NJG 4. Gilt seit dem 04.08.1944 auf dem Feindflug als vermisst.

Hi Daniel
Information really interresting, and doubtless the maid,
Hans Autenrieth himself supposed that Rudi Adam would have been killed by the same people who maltreated it, but it is only one assumption...
Your explanation based on testimony is doubtless the maid.
You certainly right .
If you has other details, I am absolutely interesting by.
Bien amicalement, dan

Putting apart this particular event, it's amazing as a story/history completly change, nd this just based on a second-hand testimony,

If a body was found and with papers, surely the Allies would have been informed (and this mentioned in the K Reports) and the body, which was found away from the heavy fighting on the ground, buried? Proof has to be absolute and in this case, it is not
