Re: Luftwaffe ASR recoveries August/September 1949
I think you asked this many moons ago. There was a general article on German ASR (by me and another by Karl Born) but never seen a list of rescues, dates or names

Not many moons just 2 years!
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...&highlight=ASR It would appear that this will still remain unanswered unless Robert has managed to skim the files of which he mentions BTW the war was well over by 1949.................

You can find summaries based on Y-Service intercepts in National Archives HW 13/28: "German Naval Air Activity Vol. II: Carrier- and land-based units (28 Dec 1939–31 Dec 1940)"

Re: Luftwaffe ASR recoveries August/September 1949
Brian,
BA/MA Signatur RL10 contains a number of files covering your date period. They may be of some help. 402 - 2.Seenotstaffel Kanal v. Cherb. 12.8.40 - 15.12.40 502 - Seenot.St. (Seenotflugkdo. 4) - Kriegstagebuch 22.08.1940-15.12.1940 533 - Seenot.St. (Seenotflugkdo. 3) - Auszüge aus dem Kriegstagebuch 05.09.1940-15.12.1940 534 - Seenot.St. (Seenotflugkdo. 5) - Kriegstagebuch 05.09.1940-15.12.1940 These are all digitised and can be downloaded via Invenio. 401 - 1.Seenotstaffel Brest-Süd 30.7.40 - 15.12.40 the catalogue entry implies that it covers your date period but actually the digitised copy does not cover Aug and Sep 1940.

Born's book is good but not as specific as to who picked up whom in August-September 1940
