Books Accident: The Death of General Sikorski by David Irving (1967)
6 Pics: When South Africa was White and VIBRANT! - The Hanging building!
This building still exists in Johannesburg. It was already built and looking great in the mid-1980s when I came to work in Johannesburg. Someone back then told me that the floors of this building are hanging. I did not quite know what to think of it, but its design is strange and when you look at the bottom, youll see the whole building is held up by a central column. (Just like those buildings of 911).
In 1943 the Polish prime minister in exile General Wladyslaw Sikorski was killed with his entire staff and only daughter, in the crash of a British plane at Gibraltar, a few seconds after take-off. He was returning from a tour of inspection. This is the last known photo, taken on the morning of the crash.
The Czech pilot Eduard Prchal was the only survivor.
The Germans immediately claimed it was an assassination. The RAF flew a Board of Inquiry to Gibraltar to investigate, but this cleared the pilot of blame.
The death of the Polish prime minister came at a very convenient moment for Winston Churchill, whose relations with the Polish government in exile were worsening; and for the Soviet Union.
In this 1967 book David Irving investigates the mystery; he published the Board’s secret report, and spoke with the pilot twice, and with many others involved.
