Re: Gefr. Rudolf FRANKE (JG 26)'s unknown crashplace
To be sure we should have a wartime German map of Belgium and France. However, for the time being I believe, that Pierre's intepretation is correct. There is no logic, that the body had been transported from France so far northeast when Heldenfriedhöfe were available near Achery in France. Also, the 2./JG 26 was located at Florennes and again it is difficult to understand, that training bombing mission would have been flown far from the base.
Sorry, but cannot help more as a "non-expert Finnish".

Matti
