This Crew crashed near the Drop Zone on the east bank of the Rhine river in Germany, but all survived and made their way back to England. Update: It has recently been brought to our attention that Ken Bruce Wireless/Operator on this crew was shot and killed by German gun fire while parachuting down from the disabled aircraft. (Official Records goofed again.) |
