Re: Me 109 loss Normandy 5 August 1944

Thanks for that.

It would seem that Behrendt must still be buried in an unmarked/unknown grave in the chateau or else, and probably more likely, he was not identified at time of crash or his i/d was somehow lost subsequently and he was re-buried in a German cemetery as unknown. The date 5 August seems certain, so unless there are other "candidates" then I think we can be pretty certain that Behrendt's loss was at Couesmes - not that far from Mortain.

Thanks guys for your help.
