For those of you who have been following this attempt to find, and communicate with, the pilot who attacked Lancaster A2-C July 28, 1944 you will know that Heinz Rokker has informed us that Lt. Strassner died in 1998. As my dad said " A bit disappointing but to be expected." Still, very exciting to have been able to identify Lt. Strassner as the pilot and a great demonstration of the power of the Internet. Thanks to all of you who contributed to this quest.
We may be able to find out more. Perhaps Lt. Strassner's log book still exists and there are some details there that may be of interest, or another crew member is still alive. Did the JU88 carry a crew of 3? Heinz Rokker provided Dad with some faster methods of communicating, other then regular mail.

I have recorded some conversations with my father about that period from July 28, 1944 while he was an evader in France. During the summer of 1944 dad joined a large group of allied flyers, all down behind enemy lines, in Freteval Forest, not far from Le Mans France. The French underground supported these flyers and it is a fascinating, and not well known, story. I have started recording some of Dad's recollections from that period and have them posted here:

These are audio, mp3, files. We will add more as they become available.
