Martin Becker vs Lancaster PG-S LL904, 27 April 1944

[Kenny Horne]

Gentlemen, Thank you so very much for this information. My family and I are grateful.

Thank you Theo. Where was that information taken from? Does the "or" indicate that it is uncertain as to whether or not it was Becker that destroyed LL904? 70 years on doesn't make this any easier does it :-)

Peglar, I must say that no, I do not have any pictures of LL904. Though the crew were on their 20th operation, the aircraft was nearly new, only it's second mission. Likely there were no pictures of her. I would love to see anything, including if there is anything of the crash site. I am aware that two bombers went down near each other, so near in fact that the unidentified remains of both crews were buried together, both at Oppenau and later at Durnbach/Bad Tolz.

Also, Peglar, what is that document that you have attached? That is fascinating. Previously my uncle's story always ended with "no further contact" from the RAF. But certainly someone, likely Herr Becker, knew more of the story. To see further notation in German took my breath away.

Thanks again,
