Re: P-51 loss on 2 April 1945
I think he was buried by Germans at Bensheim and it quite possibly was a Storch as I doubt the Americans would have buried him in Bensheim. But then again, I think that Bensheim had a US Military Mausoleum, so who knows.
Alas, the IDPF is lacking any information, as the pilot was returned to his family in the US. Most IDPFs from returned personnel have had most of the original IDPF removed and replaced by the transport, internment and inventory documents.
Sorry I could not be of more help. Danny
