I'll check it out. My Uncle was of prussian ancestry and spoke 'high german' fluently. This actually became a problem, as the french underground in Alsace-Lorraine dressed him as a labourer. His german was from the wrong region <img src="images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I asked how he crashed. It seems my uncle's squadron specialized in V1's before the invasion and made very fast, closing runs on the "doodlebugs". He was chasing a rare german nightfighter 'Owl' and shot off one engine ( he thought the opponent might be a distant relative). The engine collided with his ship. The family has his survival kit, including just such a silk map and button compass.
