Re: USAAF Loss Germany 16.02.1945

Good evening Frankie !

The postwar U. S. reasearchers' handwritten note on the translated LGK sheet in MACR # 12436 "This case is all fouled up" gives a good suggestion to the situation of LGK-reports and their evaluation in Jan-Feb-Mar 1945.
No real info anymore. Only pieces of reported events were available, since the reporting lines had been more and more under pressure or were cut.

In your particular case, I would suggest, that the crash-place is close to the hamlet Eickholt or Haus Eickholt, which is located in the middle between Stockum and Herbern. This Eickholt may be belong to the local administration of Stockum, but it is well reachable from Herbern.
Between Stockum and Herbern is only a distance of 7.7 km and Hamm is just East of both locations.

Hope, this helps.

All the best !
