JU 88 crew remains rapatriated from France to Germany in 1975
Good afternoon gents;
In 1975, the remains of the crew of a JU88 were rapatriated from France to Germany.
This JU88 had been shot down by the French maquis in the East of Toulouse in Aug 1944, had crashed in the forest near Mazamet, and remained forgoten until October 1975 when it was rediscovered for the first time 30 years after the crash.
Then, the remains (bones..) were sent back to the respective families in Germany (at least I was told).
Does this story ring a bell to anybody?
Would some german friend be able to provide more date about the crew (names/unit) ?
Thanks and cheers.
GC
