The Luftwaffe Condor (W. Nr. 0003) lands in Moura

The crew abandoned and burned the aircraft after the landig. In the wreckage of the plane the Portuguese authorities found some bullet holes suggesting the participation in a combat. In fact the aircraft had met with the HMS Deptford and was hit by AA fire.

The crew was captured the next day in a farm near Moura where they stayed waiting for new orders. They disappeared in the morning of 21 February 1941, escaping to Spain with the help of German nationals living in the border area.
