Evers, Lieutenant Hase and others arrived.
- Then the Wehrmacht took over guarding the crashed aircraft.
Chief Constable Krause had arrived and was informed about the events.
The said officers of the Wehrmacht were informed
about what had happened. Then they were accompanied
by the constables of CID Pedersen Bach and Baltzer to Hornsyld Hospital.
Consultant Thorborg informed
them that airman Davies was hospitalized. He had
injured the fingers of his right hand and had knocked
his head against something. He was rather shocked.
The other English airman listed as
Jack Arthur Bannister (England 7/2 1918) was on
the operation table, as
he had open fractures of his legs. The consultant produced X-ray photos that
showed 2 open fractures of
one of his legs. Airman Bannister's condition does not make it possible to
move or interrogate him.
When the 2 airmen had been undressed at the hospital all of their equipment,
papers and other matters
were handed over to the German officers Evers and Hase who carried out an
inspection of the items.
Then the Wehrmacht took over the guarding of the 2 English airmen.
At about 10 a.m. the Criminal Investigation
Department in Vejle announced that they had been informed
that a parachute had been found at Bredballe marked with the name Dunn. The
parachute was kept by the Police in Vejle. The search for the 2 remaining
airmen was carried out in the area where the 2 airmen could
possibly be found in Vejle and Horsens police districts.
During the search a seat with a cushion and
straps has been found between Espekjær and "Rohden".
It may have been used as a seat in the parachute and it might have been used
by airman Davies.
The said seat has been shown to airman Davies who stated that it had been on
the seat behind the pilot's place in the aircraft. Davies had used it when
he bailed out to cushion his fall against the ground. After that
he threw the seat away. Assistance from
the police in Aarhus has been commissioned. |
