It looks like the source is a memoir written by a soldier. So I guess you’d have to take that one guy’s word for it, assuming interviews etc. with other people who would have seen the same event don’t exist.
I err on the side of people, especially people from generations prior to being able to verify a lot of stuff on the internet, being entirely full of shit.
I’m not saying it happened, but it is a “known” story. Example: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2023/12/28/all-we-can-do-for-you-now-how-czech-sabotage-saved-a-b-17-crew/
It’s an apocryphal story.
