Hello Alex and Leendert,
The whole thing is very confusing:
1: There is a place called JÜLICH, which is repeatedly cited as the crash site. However, there is no document to prove this.
2: If 43-38132 had crashed in Jülich, the dead would have been buried there and not in Bachem, which is about 35 km east of Jülich.
3: At least one of the dead from 43-38132 (PUGH) was buried in the cemetery in Bachen. Another person whose name is known (BUTCHER from 43-37620, crashed in Grube Fischbach) was buried with him. Eight other people were buried as “unknown soldiers” in the cemetery in Bachem. I am not aware of this.

Eight other people were buried as “unknown soldiers” in the cemetery in Bachem. I do not know how these dead were identified during the exhumation after the war, as I have no documentation on this.
Therefore, both the location of the graves and the respective crash sites remain a mystery to this day.
What's more, several B-17s crashed in the Cologne area on that day. And there were parachutists who were killed and buried as “unknown soldiers.”
So, mystery upon mystery—after 80 years, no small matter to solve.
