Re: Hptm. Emil Lang's crash site
In "Die Ritterkreuztraeger der Luftwaffe 1939-1945, Band I - Jagdflieger" by Ernst Obermaier, p.64, the author says that on 3 Sept 44 as Emil Lang took off from St. Trond he was surprised by several Spitfires, crashed from 200m altitude and died immediately. His a/c was Fw 190 A-8,171 240, Green 1.
Sorry, nothing further,
George
PS. In his book, "The JG 26 War Diary --Part 2 1943-45, Donald Caldwell theorizes that it was Lt. Cramer of the 55th Figher Group who shot down Lang. But, no mention of Lang's subsequent fate, ie. burial location.
