Good catch, Tom! Yes it was a typo. I got hamfisted on the keyboard and typed in I./JG76 instead of the correct I./JG26. Does anyone know Georg Kiefner's status? Is he still around? Don Caldwell has corresponded with him but has not heard from him in a long time.I was hoping to contact him about his recollections of the 25 Aug 44 Black Friday fight with the 474th FG.

I also believe that John may be correct in that two bodies are buried at the same gravesite to save space. This is done at American national cemetaries here in the States. Veterans and their spouses are buried on top of each other, not side by side, in order to conserve valuable land area. I have a very good French friend who lives in Beauvais. I will ask him if he can confirm this with officials at the Beauvais German Military Cemetary.

Cheers, Gary
