Actually, Kai - I have to thank 'After The Battle' magazine for helping me with that one !
OK, my last one was much too hard - so here's a really easy-peasy one....
Operation Compass, 1940 - which British aircraft had such noisy engines that it was used in the early stages of this Operation to mask the sound of vehicles ?
And if you can post a link to an online picture of the aircraft you may qualify for a Hero Of The WWII Forums award.... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

SS-Obersturmbannführer der Reserve Helmut Kampfe
[img]smile.gif[/img]
As listed in SS: Roll of Infamy but majority of sources list him as an SS-Sturmbannfuhrer. Perhaps it was awared postumously?

He was kidnapped at a road junction at the hamlet of La Bussiere, fifteen miles from Limoges. He was then taken to the maquis camp at Cheissoux, but I thought after that he disappeared ?
