Re: Re: Lancaster NG180, 7/10/44. (Kembs)


Hi Ken,


I have some copies of German documents that state, 4 crewmen captured and taken to Schleingen Police station. Prior to an escort arriving from the Freiburg-Breisgau airfield the 4 crewmen were taken from the police station and "assasinated".

NG180 KC-S piloted by S/L Wyness was shot down on the Kembs dam op's, the crew managed to clamber into a dingy but were set upon by german machine guns killing all on board, 4 bodies were found and 3 were missing

Does anyone know the identity of the four crewmen from this 617sqdn aircraft, that were murdered shortly after their capture on the date of the Kembs raid, could they possibly be.......


S/Ldr Wyness, F/O Hosie, F/O Honig and F/Lt Williams, as these are the only four from this crew with known graves.
