What happened to F/Lt Miroslav Budil

[Snautzer]

F/Lt Miroslav Budil Spitfire Mk IX, MK248 (DU-R). shot down by German fighters (JG26) at 19:15 hrs. It crashed 3 km south of Zarren (approx. 14 km NW of Roeselare), West Flanders.


CWGC records provide the following official details:

• Death Date: 19 April 1944
• Rank: Flight Lieutenant
• Service Number: 82541

But in KU-1507 in 2 document states he was captured and "eingelieferd" the 19 th and put on march with Marschverpflegung the 21 nd
(KU-1507 pg 10-11)
There is a reference For Budil to KUJ-879 but i dont have that one.


Dead men dont walk so what happened?

Hello Snautzer,

82541 was the service number of F/Lt František Cigoš, a pilot of 311 Sqn.
F/Lt Bohuslav – not Miroslav – Budil, service number 82539, was shot down and taken prisoner on 19 April 1944. He survived the war and died on 11 Feb 1990.
