Fieseler Storch losses in NW Brittany France
Would any Luftwaffe specialist may have in his records two such aircraft that may have crashed there.
The first one did a crashlanding east of Le Conquet, north east of Plougonvelin, 20 km west of Brest. One member of the crew of two was ligtly wounded. A witness thinks this happened a morning of March 1941. The second was downed by a fighter that kept on firing on it until it crashed on the ground north of Crozon, 15 km south of Brest,. The witness’sbrother never forgot the two bodies he saw burning into the aircraft. He says it was not a fighter, recently saw pictures of a Fieseler storch, and think it could be this type of aircraft Thank you for your help. Gildas |

Hello Dan,
Sorry for this late answer. This plane was more like a observation plane. Cheers Gildas |

Re: Fieseler Storch losses in NW Brittany France
Gildas,
the only Storch losses during that time period happened: 23.02.41 near Amiens 08.03.41 near Creil 12.03.41 near Brionne 01.05.41 near Rouen All locations are far away from Brest. Furthermore there is no Hs 126 (which could be mis-identified as a Storch) loss reported in the Brest area during spring 1941.
