Comments / Questions:by: Red Dragon Lt Jack Carre 340 (Free French) Squadron 2017-04-19 21:23:16 The mystery of his disappearance will not be solved until November 1945, with the testimony of Jean Delasalle, paratrooper in the 2nd Regiment of Paratroopers Hunters: "On 23 April 1945 I was travelling as a prisoner of war, wounded, on a red cross train stopped in a siding at the Oldenbuttel station, 40 km north of Bremen. DCA with about 40 anti-aircraft guns entered the station and came to stand near us, certainly with the intention of benefiting from the immunity of the Red Cross train. Shortly after dark, a After his third attack, the plane was hit and crashed 300 meters away, and the Germans went off to investigate, and on the way back, they told us that the pilot was a French officer named Carré He had been killed in flight, hit by a burst of machine-gun fire at his face and chest, and I wish to emphasize the magnificent conduct of the pilot who, alone, attacked a train of 40 AAA guns with such determination , Such a calm and such a pre-decision that none of the cars of the train of the Red Cross, on the next line, was not damaged.
