Description
German propaganda photograph captured by the RAF.
RAF Caption: "In the aerial battle of 11.1.44.
Terror bomber shot down in The Harz has crashed in an open field."
The photograph is of the wreckage of probably a British plane given the propeller design and the ammunition visible. Bomber Command records show that on the night stated in the caption above only De Havilland Mosquitos were flying and none were lost, however the wreckage is not a Mosquito as they were a wooden airframe. The wreckage is being guarded by a German Gefreiter (Lance Corporal).
