Danish Military Aviation 1940
Hi,
I have few questions concerning Danish Military Aviation in April 1940: 1) I`m looking for crew and its fate of sole downed Danish plane Fokker C.V R-49 from the 5.Eskadrilla 2) I`m looking for bases of Marinens Flyveskole as well as 1. and 2.Luftflotille 3) I`m looking also for bases of Flyveskolen (army air schools). TIA Regards robert |

Regarding the faith of the unfortunate crew at Værløse a brief description at my website
http://www.danishww2pilots.dk/profil...alpha=b&id=250 http://www.danishww2pilots.dk/profil...alpha=g&id=249 I havn't got the information regarding 2 and 3 at hand, but as I understand it, you are interested in the location of these bases? I can look it up for you, when at home. Mikkel

This is not exactly my area of expertise, but as far as I can gather.

U R welcome.

Mikkel
Not sure if you don't have the details on hand or if you feel it is sensitive, but R-49 was claimed by Hptm Wolfgang Falck. Time 06.38H (German time). In his translated (to English) autobiography it is listed as a Fokker D.XXI in the score list, but in the text he clearly states he saw the Fokker D.XXI's on the ground, but the aeroplane that took off was a reconnaisance aeroplane! He also says that THIS was the aeroplane he shot down over Vaerlöse. Cheers Stig |

Danish Military Aviation 1940
The Danish Resistance Movement was an underground insurgency movement to resist the German occupation of Denmark during World War II. Due to the unusually lenient terms given to Denmark by the Nazi occupation authority, the movement was slower to develop effective tactics on a wide scale than in some other countries. However, by 1943, many Danes were involved in underground activities ranging from producing illegal publications to spying and violent sabotage, ultimately, the Danish resistance sabotaged its nation's Nazi occupiers on a larger scale than did any other resistance movement.
