Luc,

As an afterthought in the book 'Massacre At Malmedy' it states that a citizen of Stourmont spoke to ObStfhr.Jochen Peiper, during the Battle of the Bulge, stating that on 21st(?) Jan. 1944 local people had rescued airman from a crashed Luftwaffe transport. The book says that the aircraft was flying from Bremen to Chievres and crashed a few kilometres from Stourmont and the wounded were taken to the Hospital at Spa. As a result the people of Stourmont were not harmed .
Unless there was another loss of a transport on 21st this seems like the same incident involving G6+MU on the 29th. have you any thoughts on this,

Regards

Brian
