Grislawski or Ihlefeld

[neil c]

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can help me. My father, Lt. Stanley Canner, was a Mustang pilot with the 12 TRS/67 TRG. He was shot down 14 July 1944 at approx. 1917h in the Caen/Falaise area, into occupied territory. Where he parachuted to is both in the Falaise (to the northeast) area and south of Caen (to the southeast.)

He successfully evaded for 6 weeks with help from the Maquis.

His MACR states (upon his return) that he was at about 2,000 feet when he was hit and bailed-out at 1,500 feet.

There are three claims for a Mustang at that time on that day, Grislawski (in the Falaise area at 1,200 feet,) Ihlefeld (south of Caen at 3,600 feet,) and Vogel (no location.) Because Vogel's K Report states that he witnessed that Mustang pilot bail-out and land in Allied territory, I have eliminated him.

Could someone translate the pages from Jochen Prien's book regarding 14 July 1944 for me? I have the pages and can post or email.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Neil Canner
