Hello Mike

Oberfähnrich Paul Brühl of 8./JG 1 killed on 26 December 1944 in Fw 190 A-8 "Blue 8" (W.Nr. 171 639) in aerial combat with P-51 fighters in the Bastogne area

I hope that this helps you.

Horrido!

Mike,

just like the first one also Ofhr. Paul Brühl is still listed as Missing In Action. If somebody indeed recovered the a/c and found identification on the a/c remains and even maybe human remains..... than they are not the best recovery group around to put it mildly....

regards,

John Manrho.

Hi John

It does seem strange, I ask because a few items of wreckage have turned up with these histories attached, having one missing pilot is odd but two is very odd, I was just trying to see if anyone knew if this had been the case, as I am not aware of anyone doing this kind of work in the Luxembourg are but it was alleged to have been about 15 years ago I am not sure what to think really

Hi - Paul Brühl's plane was shot down over Baschleiden, Luxembourg. He was buried somewhere in the surroundings by a Luxembourger but his grave could not yet be discovered even after meticulous researches up there in the North of Luxembourg.Unfortunately this man who buried him died a long time ago and could not be contacted by me anymore.

However I found Paul Brühl's pilot-watch close to the spot where the plane came down.
Still continuing my researches and digging work.....

And did you report the find of personal belongings to the proper authorities and did you hand over that personal belonging (watch) to the WASt?

Cheers,
