Bf109 pilot Peter Harmel 1940?
Hi guys
Perusing Edmund Blandford's 1997 book TARGET ENGLAND, which purports to contain interviews with former German aircrew, I have come across one PETER HARMEL who allegedly shot down a Hurricane circa July/August 1940. Also mentioned as a Ju87 pilot is WOLFGANG SCHAUER and Ju87 pilot ARTHUR TIEKER, circa the same period. Can anyone help identify, please? Cheers Brian |

Hi guys
It seems that these were fictitious names attached to true accounts! Cheers Brian |

Fictitious names? I would question the veracity of the accounts as well

Hi Chris
I was recently advised this by a colleague who contacted the author when the book was published. Cheers Brian |

Puzzling-why use fictitious names? I never have had cause or reason with my work hence my doubts as to the accounts?
