Yes, you are right. The body was found by chance by a archaeologist in 1965 on the island and was classified as possible "medieval turk", died in the siege of Marseille. Close to the island, we did some research about a sunken german DB601 Engine, so the body was interesting for us again. About 2006 Luc Vanrell located the remains again, now in the US, and we initiated together a DNA research to compare the DNA with the brother of Alexis, also a former JG27 fighter pilot. The result was succesfull.

Lino
