As Chris says, that position is the only one given and with four Do217's being lost from 6./KG2 at this time, is unlikely you'll be able to identify a more accurate one. |

Re: Dornier 217 E2 Dieppe August 19 1942
Thank you Chris and Steve for your information.
My question is why the parts of Do 217 ended up in the bunker at Sainte Marguerite sur Mer. It was used as a dustbin. Were the parts transported from another place or were they a nuisance to the owner of the land around the bunker...? ? According to the account given by Hugo Lemser to the German authorities, the location should be in a place where there are cliffs, therefore from Ault coming from Eindhoven to the vicinity of Sainte Marguerite sur Mer. In my listing of Do 217 of the 6. KG 2 I have only 3 planes : the 1217, the 5453 and the 5469. |

Good evening Steve,
Thanks for the information. I have ordered the book Der Luftkrieg in Europa. 2 Bände. I will resume my work on the Do 217 E4 - W.Nr459 - U5+GP to find the 3 other families. Yours sincerely, François |

Don't think the book will give you more than you already know or have been told

Good luck, but as Chris says, sadly there isn't anymore detailed information in that book regarding the losses at Dieppe. It lists all Do217 losses, but doesn't add anything to their locations.

Resurrecting this older thread because there are accounts from shot down Do 217 crew members available to download from the Bundesarchiv. These are included in file RL 7-3/598 »Berichte und Vernehmungen zum alliierten Landungsunternehmen am 19. Aug. 1942 in Dieppe (1942–1943)«.
