Hi ,
I am a local historian and live in the area north from Eberswalde . My brother
possesses more information to the 12.9.1944, but he can answer however in 3 weeks. But here a small piece of information .

The fallen German pilot at Finowfurt was Uffz.Walter Simon, 5./J.G.300 .
On the cemetery of Eberswalde 9 American airmen were buried at the 15.9.1944, which died at the 12.9.1944. They were exhumed at the 28.8.1947 by Americans and were carried away.
