    On 18th August, 1940, the 4th War Reporter Detachment of the Luftwaffe despatched eight reporters and cameramen to fly with the two Bomber Geschwaders detailed to destroy the RAF’s Fighter Command airfields in the south-east. Two were to fly with the 9th Staffel for their low-level raid on RAF Kenley: war reporter Georg Hinze and photographer Rolf Von Pebal.

    Great pictures, thanks for posting.
    I wonder what happened to Hinze and Pebal.
    The name von Pebal does not sound German. But I will check.
