Thanks for that.....much appreciated...

What I'm trying to find out, if possible, is how the aircraft was lost. According to Chorley's works, the lanc came down in either two locations, which are not a million miles apart. One is a municipality and the other is a village within it...a place called Stemmen...which is South West of Hamburg....

I don't have a time of crash, so I can't tell if the lanc and crew were lost en-route or outward bound...

I know that German ME262s were out on that day and about and I wonder if they were victims of a day fighter attack....it must have been frustrating for the victims families not to know what had happened to them....only of course that they were killed..and so close to the war's end...

Are there any German researchers on this site that could help??
