incredible story of ww2

[KAV]

Thanks Olife for sharing

Here is one from my neighborhood:

During the later stages of the war, a Voorpostenboot (Germanflakship) grounded just outside my mothers house by the shore.
This caused a lot of havoc, and my grandfather and other local fishermen had to assist to pull it afloat.

This was Voorpostboot 5512 which was stationed in our area.

During my research of WWII incidents in my area, last year I came across a downed aircraft in the sea by the shore where I live.

My research soon provided some wreckage from a downed airplane, turning out to be parts from the wreck from Polish Mustang PK-E from the Polish 315 Squadron. It was shot down by the same Voorpostboot my mother witnessed go aground just outside her home, and my grandfather was forced to get afloat !

A short presentation of the incident is to be found here:

Image of the wreckage included.

A scary kind of coincident for sure.
