Re: Info on Crash Site Dec 11, 1944 Mannheim
No on Freiburg. This is the one collection that by mutual agreement between Washington and the BRD was allowed to remain in possession of the U.S. after the war. The rationale was that the reports pertain to Allied aircraft and air crew, therefore U.S. interest in them trumped any right the BRD might have to them. However, it has been 23 or 24 years since I last worked with the collection and in the intervening period it is possible that a microfilm copy might have been made and that sent to Freiburg. But I don't think so, otherwise I would have heard something about it.
Fifty years ago, Darmstadt was home to a big USAFSS station. IIRC, there wasn't much of a U.S. Army presence in the city.
