Hi Wolfgang,

thanks for the suggestion. I think Friesenraht is too far south in this case to be the location.

Hi Horst,

the aircraft was Lancaster KB870, lost on the night of 15-16 March 1945. Four other Lancasters crashed near Krefeld and SE of Krefeld. KB870 likely crashed in a similar area, perhaps W or SW of Krefeld. A surviving crew member estimated they baled out 10 miles east of the Rhine and 15 miles north of München-Gladbach.

The Americans recovered two bodies at the crash site of KB870 and recorded the location as "Preisenzath". The RAF Post-Presumption Memorandum for KB870 states the aircraft crashed at "Priensenzath".

Cheers

Rod
