Re: USAAF Loss Germany 16.02.1945

This is a Link to 1st Lt Ralph W Cox's (O-1318652) IDPF file. He was a soldier with the same name as S/Sgt Ralph W Cox (363069660)

https://catalog.archives.gov/search-...h%20w%20cox%22

Go to pages 13 and 14, which are IDPF pages for S/Sgt Ralph W Cox (36306966). These two pages appear to be the only 2 pages from S/Sgt Cox's IDPF file that have been misfiled in the 1st Lt. Cox file.

Note the area they are talking about,

The plane crashed in Stockum which is just north of Witten

Witten, Stockum etc. are SW of Dortmund. Stockum lies within Witten.

The flyers were first buried in the Helden Allied Cemetery in Dortmund.
