Hubert Hein crew He-177 crash , please help.
Hello Gentlemen.
New to the forum and wishing to introduce myself and hoping I will be able to contribute to this fine forum. One reason I joined is because I am trying to identify a He-177 crew. I know the crash site (St Laurent, France), date of crash (June 7th 1944) and Werk Nummer (550204) . Unfortunaley the only crew member I know is Oberfährig Hubert Hein and I have no clue who the 5 other could be. All died in the crash . Could anybody help me to identify the rest of his crew?

Brian, thank you very much for this useful information. it helps a lot and fills the gaps.
Chris. I'd love to hear more about this ill-fated crew. I know it was claimed by a Mosquito crew and I believe it took off from Merignac, but I'm not sure because Bricy was close. |
