Re: Crash site for F/L G.A.Holland 20/21 April 1944

Hi Dave !

Here is everything you want to know:
http://www.flyingforyourlife.com/pilots/ww2/h/holland/

Everswinkel is here:
http://wikimapia.org/#lat=51.9267604...ch=everswinkel

The German names are written faulty though:

Spitterhover must read: Spitthöver
Gross Beckman must read: Grosse-Beckmann

Also, since the victims Spitthöver are mentioned on a
"Gedenktafel" at Everswinkel church, it would appear improbable that the Mosquito crashed 20 km (maybe 2 km?) to the north of Everswinkel.
The German phonebook doesn't list the above mentioned names
at Everswinkel today, but there is one Spitthöver at Ostbevern, which
would be about 15 km north to Everswinkel.

cheers,
Frankie
