Re: Wellington LN451 432.Sqn 8./9. October 1943

Hi Dirk,

LN451 crashed in front of the church at Holtensen, removing portion of the roof of this building. The a/c did not explode on impact and therefore it was thought that the bomb load had been discharged prior to the crash.

The bodies of 5 were recovered from the wreckage and buried in the Village cemetery Holtensen.

regards

Stefan Ilsemann
