Re: Luftwaffe Pilot shot down his hero
Thanks Carl, I will actually try to see Chancel's documentary. Personnally I hav eno doubt to think that it was a JGr200 pilot who shot down St Ex. This was the unit invloved in this part of the mediteranean. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an overclaim though. Remember the wreckage of an Me109 was found near the P-38 so the pilot from this ac could have fired too before he was shot down. I am not positive concerning the presence of this german plane the very same day. I keep in mind that it could have been shot down on another day too.
