UK Docu-Drama Who shot Douglas Bader

No unfortunately not.They do provide quite convincing evidence that Bader was shot down by one of his own colleagues who mistook him for the new Me109 F or G(can`t remember which)which had a similar profile to the Spit unlike it`s predeccessor.Records state that during the engagement British pilots confirmed two definite kills although German written records reveal that only one Luftwaffe pilot was shot down and killed.Why then did Bader lie and claim that he collided with an Me109 which was the official version?The Me109,which Bader allegedly hit,was discovered,although there was no evidence of a crashed Spitfire nearby.The programme claims that he did this to perhaps save face or to safegurad morale maybe realising he was the victim of "blue on blue".Imagine the German propoganda coup if it were found one of Britain`s top aces had been shot down by his own side.Interesting theory indeed.Incidentaly the prog also shows some pics of Adolf Galland and Bader laughing and smiling-mutual respect in times of war. Still lots of ifs,buts and maybes and the conclusive answer would possibly be found in the wreckage of his aircraft, which despite extensive searches, couldn`t be located.It`s known that Bader`s aircraft crashed in a field in Northern France but exactly where is still a mystery.The programme put out adverts in French newspapers for any eyewitnesses to come forward if they remembered any British planes crashing during the war-a very long shot but a few elderly farmers pointed out some locations and two Spitfires were found.The programme makers also identified a lake and apparently that is the last possible place where the plane could be.I supose the dredging operation would have been too expensive as they didn`t carry on the search.
