I don't know if its disinformation, but Gen. Chamier-G was not at Peenemunde, but was a Luftwaffe officer who went down in the Balkans about this time.
Gen. Jesschonnek did not die of an "illness" but committed suicide after he mistakenly ordered Berlin air defenses to open fire on a group of German fighters the night of the Peenemunde raid.

“committed suicide” but was it voluntary?

I don't know if its disinformation, but Gen. Chamier-G was not at Peenemunde, but was a Luftwaffe officer who went down in the Balkans about this time. From the article:
"... [D]ispatches from Stockholm saying that the general was murdered during the RAF attack by a revolver bullet fired from the back."
That awkward wording suggests that the Allies had spooks on the ground at Peenemunde who used the confusion of the attack to plug a high-ranking German on site. If it wasn't Gen. Chamier-G perhaps it was some other secret weapon honcho.
