JoMe,
if you're interested, I could send you scans of MACR 12958 - just drop me a PM.

Do you know the exact crashside of this a/c? I'm asking this because the crashplaces of all B-17 losses from 09.03.45 are known to me - exept these from 96.BG.

Hi Heuser

The crashplace of this B-17 G was in the wood nearby the city of Gelnhausen, on a hill named Schnepfenkopf (323m).
