Identity of crew - November 1940
Hi,
Bought this photo on Ebay recently. Said to be crew of Hptm. A Kindler RK on mission to England in November 1940. Can anyone identify names from writing on the back of the photo? What were their eventual fates? Rick Last edited by rickback4444; 9th December 2018 at 00:37. |
