Michel, I have been looking for this one and others in that area too. I cannot find anything even in the Geilenkirchen archives. Most eye-witnesses have either passed away or moved away. I can tell you the site for three of the Schweinfurt Raid B-17s and the Lancaster that crashed in Stahe. Danny

LN-439 : Just before starting the bomb run, this aircraft was shot down by a night fighter crashing at Kleinerbroich, six miles east of Monchen Gladbach
