Rolland,


I have contacted Margraten Cemetery. The lady who looked after Warren Dwyer's grave in the 90's is no longer alive. No new caretaker for the grave is known.

So I've been trying to figure out the exact crash site of the B-26. On the basis of several aerial photographs, which I compared with today's photographs and by a visit on site I can say with certainty that the indication 50.829090, 6.998740 is the correct one. This area was an open, undeveloped field in 1945. In the immediate vicinity there was an anti-aircraft gun position of the Wehrmacht. ( today it looks completely different there, everything is built up with houses).
The other location 480 480 ( 50.827353N, 6.999083E) is not a crash site, because there were two farms there in 1945, which would have been destroyed in the crash. But the old buildings still exist today. And witnesses on site assured me that these buildings have not suffered any damage from the war, except by shelling.
