An Impossible Task?

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

There is a farm near where I live that I buy my eggs from and the old girl in there in her late 80s (still working, bless her) told me about a downed German night fighter that landed in the neighbours field (she promptly marched me over to the neighbour for a full intro and description), the pilot survived and was taken to a military hospital (Celle) with a broken leg. There is nothing left of the crash site as a cow shed was built over it. Sadly the generation that knew about it in any detail have passed, my enquiry is what is the minimum amount of info I need to find to try and trace this crash? I am going back to try and find dates and any pictures if they were taken but I don't want to be rude either as not everyone shares our passion for history, particularly over here. She also informed me of a downed US 4 engine bomber nearby and one of the two survivers landed on her doorstep but he was taken to Belsen which was the nearest KGL/KZ. I would like to chase him up as well but one at a time I think, it is a few Ks further and I haver yet to meet with the landowners as such I have no idea if they would be helpful in this regard.

Cheers for any direction.

Jock
