Re: Five unknown airmen, 26.11.1943.
Sustrum, Niederlangen and Oberlangen are adjacent to each other. Sustrum is the northernmost, it adjoins Niederlangen to the south and below Niederlangen is Oberlangen All within 2 to 3 miles.
Fold3 has 3 (different??) Lancasters listed that seem to have crashed in this area. The second one has "DtD 308 C" in the "markings" column. (May have been a typo of some sort with the lower case "t". (If the plane blew up at altitude and some large pieces were scattered about, perhaps the Germans thought they had multiple crashes.)
So starting with the one mentioned previous, we have:
26 Nov 43 /(no time)/Lancaster / / Niederlangen West of Meppen / 116600
26 Nov 43 /22:30 / Lancaster/ DtD 308 C / Sustrum near Erdhuette, Inn / 116648/116649
26 Nov 43 /22:30 / Lancaster / / near highway Niederlangen-Sustrum / 116580-116581
Note the last column is normally the "KU", "KE", "A.V." (etc,) numbers, but the lists will include the prefix letters.
These 3 Lancasters just show numbers, so are they some other type of report or a location?
