Re: Victor of Roma !
Roma is the ital. vessel sunk by the Do217 der KG100
Rémi But accident has nothing to do with that, except that among the casualties there is one or more crew that participate to sinking of the ital. vessel |

Re: Victor of Roma !
Hi Rémi,
Balke includes a first-hand account from one of Degen's comrades on page 267 about the circumstances of this loss. Cheers, Andrew A. Air War Publications - www.airwarpublications.com/earticles |

Re: Victor of Roma !
Thks both, loss is not reported in usual returns, or prob. in those for 1944. in an ADIk some prisoner report the loss, so probably apart the testimony of the Balke's book nd the ADIk no other sources..
