    The Luftwaffe and Saint-Exupéry: the evidence


    In contrast to most of the press coverage, this is a look at the evidence for Horst Rippert's claim in March 2008 that he probably shot down the aircraft flown by French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry on 31 July 1944.

    Вот как раз о сказках, прямо по английской википедии:

    1. In 1948, former Luftwaffe telegrapher Rev. Hermann Korth published his war logs, noting an instance which occurred at around noon on 31 July 1944 in which a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 downed a P-38 Lightning. Korth's account ostensibly supported a shoot-down hypothesis for Saint-Exupéry.[67][68] The veracity of his log, however, was met with skepticism, because it could have described a P-38 which was flown by Second Lieutenant Gene Meredith on 30 July, downed south of Nice.

    Вот как раз по твоей ссылке эпизод со сбитем Мередита фельдфебелем Гютом из JG200 и разобран.

    2. Сказочник номер два по имени Роберт Хейшеле.

    n 1972, the German magazine Der Landser quoted a letter from Luftwaffe reconnaissance pilot Robert Heichele, in which he purportedly claimed to have shot down a P-38 on 31 July 1944.[71] His account, corroborated by a spotter, seemingly supported a shoot-down hypothesis of Saint-Exupéry.[72] However, Heichele's account was met with skepticism, because he described flying a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9, a variant which had not yet entered Luftwaffe service.[73]

    In the lists which are held by the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv, no victory was credited to Heichele or his unit in either July or August 1944, and the decrypted report of the day's reconnaissance does not include any flights by 2./NAG 13's Fw 190s.[74] Heichele was shot down on 16 August 1944 and died five days later.[Note 12][75]


    Как мы обсуждали, товарищ на 190D-9 в июле 1944 сразу идет в сад, не говоря уже о документах его NAG 13

    Ну и третий сказочник - лично герр Рипперт
