Re: KG100 attack on 9/10 June 1944

No reprisal action there, Brian,ony a few trucks that came the day after with soldiers, looking for the crew.
As Chris says, they were probably too busy retreating: the local remember many trucks passing by, from South to North.

In this case, what is interesting is the local re use of the aircraft parts in the village : see attachments : respectively wheelbarrow, door of the pigsty and doors of the attic;

Young boys (who are today in the 80's) explain that they took the rubber of the intact fuel tanks to make themselves sandals (they were walking bare feet at that time);
