Re: Lancaster DV-218 12 Squadron
Michel, I don't know the answer, but geography might help. The target was Dusseldorf and the crew were buried at Monchengladbach, so which Kempen is closer? I don't think the crew would have been buried far from the crash site, so a Kempen near there or on a possible route from Dusseldorf towards the English Channel...
No doubt someone will have a better answer. I think Venlo was a nightfighter base, so a likely area for aircraft to be shot down (but a good reason to keep away!)
If it was approaching the target, perhaps the Krefeld one, if after bombing, then the Karken one looks a more likely route home. Which is the nearer to Monchengladbach?
