From Wikipedia on the death of Antione de Saint-Exupéry.
'Contemporary archival sources, including intercepted Luftwaffe signals, strongly suggest that Saint-Exupéry was not shot down by a German aircraft,[54] although an American Lightning flown by Second Lieutenant Gene Meredith was shot down the previous day on 30 July.[N 15] By contrast, there were no claims on file from either of the Luftwaffe pilots, Heichele or Rippert, for a Lightning on 31 July 1944, nor any supporting Allied signals intelligence or radar reports for that area on that date.[N 16] Rippert's explanation that he and his Luftwaffe squadron colleagues immediately 'covered up' the shootdown after-the-fact due to Saint-Exupéry's stature was met with extreme skepticism, as the Allies had made no mention of the author's status for two to three days after he failed to return from his mission.[55]'

A 2004 German short dramatic film, "Der letzte Flug" (The Last Flight), portrays a fictional Luftwaffe pilot, Lieutenant Henrici Müller, who returns to his airbase on July 31, 1944 after having shot down a reconnaissance version Lightning during a mission to Corsica. He learns in the film's final moments that the missing pilot is Saint-Exupéry. The same Lufwaffe pilot is shown as an elderly man reminiscing that fateful day. He concludes the drama by reciting the final paragraph from The Little Prince.

Good movie, Kaiser!

...and the Germans spoke real German.

Thanks for the information.

"Horrido" was the Germa equivalent of the British "Tally Ho"

"Soldatensender Calais" (later "Soldatensender West") was a "Black Radio" station that was based in the UK, that sorta kinda pretended to be a German radio station if you didn't listen carefully.

It covered political speeches, football and other sporting results, genuine news, with some subtle "black" messages in. For example, inspirational stories about Nazi party officials being punished for corruption, or greatly increased hospital capacity now being available to deal with the many casualties from the Fronts. Sometimes by merely juxtaposing genuine news stories - one of a senior party official urging the conservation of leather due to the shortage of shoes, the other from the Propaganda Ministry that the rumoured shoe shortage was officially labelled as "Enemy Lies", confidence in the regime and anything it said was undermined.
