Re: Plane Crash Dötlingen April 4, 1945

With the help of the newspaper and some residents of Brettorf, the crash site (see photo) could be found (Green Circle).
The approach to the railway line took place via the courtyard (blue circle).
During the attack, the aircraft got caught in a phone line and crashed. Residents of the courtyards saw the crash (blue and red circles).
A resident then buried Halliwell right next to the crash site under a beech tree (see also photo). There was no tombstone.
The plane was still there for a very long time. It was not recovered by the British. Children have found the remains of the aircraft for many years. A local resident also gave me the two parts seen in the photo today.
