Re: B-17 crash 14.02.1945

Mike,
a big THANK YOU again. I´m going to meet my eyewitness again next week, maybe there is an error in the date.
There are other questions from my side:
-what was the target of 369.BS for 14.02.1945? Dresden, as mentioned by Michal?
-Do you have the name of the crew members of "Verna E."?
-What´s about markings or camouflage of this BS? Unit code WW-, triangle H, that is everything from my side...
-What´s about the bombsight? Are there any markings on it to identify the a/c?

Speculation:
If I take a look into the map with given datas, mission to Dresden-damaged near Kassel-destination Thurleigh AF, there is only one explanation: after damaged by Flak near Kassel on the way back home, the a/c take a new course (SW) to reach the own frontlines in Belgium or Luxemburg. But speculation is not my way to work...

And Bad Belohrad...I´ve found no city, village or even a place in western Europe with this name (and variations). Maybe in Bohemia/Moravia?

Best Regards,

Heuser
