Re: Lt Modzeleski

Alain !

2nd Lt. Teddy Modzeleski was shot down by German fighter-planes on 17 December 1944 at about 14:40 hrs (according the MACR) about 2 km East of Spangdahlem, Germany. The exact crash-location is given by an eyewhitness just near the present security-fence between the USAFE-base and the village of Binsfeld.

This is confirmed by the German LGK-report # J-2748, which gives his correct Name, his correct AAF-s/n, the downing-location, but as downing-time 15:10 hrs.

Hanshaubrich is right, when he identifies the German counnterpart as JG 11 in this case. Alain, no single trace indicates this aircraft and pilot, have come down in Belgium.

Hope this helps,

Horst Weber
