I've as a possible crash location a wooded area NW of Keppeln, about 3 km N of Uedem. The crew were initially buried at Mönchengladbach 7-9-1943 (four of the graves have an inscription 'Buried near this spot' which means that the Grave Concentration Units (GCU's) at the time had their problems).
Regards,
Henk.

This taken from a casualty file: Shot down by a night fighter crashing at Rath-Anhoven, 13 km south west of Monchen-Gladbach. There was no other details.
