B-17 crash 14.02.1945

Gentlemen,
today I get informations from an eyewitness about a B-17, crashed at 14. february 1945. The crashplace is located near the village of Weisel, between Wiesbaden and Koblenz, about 10 km N of Bingen. 9 members of the crew were taken as POW, some of them were injured. The old man told me that mentioned a/c was damaged by flak during a mission to Kassel(?). The wreck was recovered by american soldiers after VE-day.
All these datas sourcing at his diary of 1945.

I am not an expert in 8th USAAF-losses in WW 2, but I´ve found the following informations about losses for this day:

-B-17, 42-97185, 306.BG, 369.BS.
-B-17, 43-38405, 351.BG, 508.BS., 1 KIA, 8 POW, Flak, mission to Dresden
-B-17, 42-39147, 379.BG, 527.BS., mission to Dresden
-B-24, 44-40109, 389.BG, 566.BS., 1 KIA, 8 POW, Flak, Magdeburg
-B-17, 43-39079, 390.BG, 569.BS., 2 POW, ? KIA, Flak, crashed near Wiesbaden
-B-17, 43-38375, 92.BG, 407.BS., mission to Dresden
-B-17, 43-37657, 381.BG, 534.BS, damaged

Any aditional informations about mentioned losses and their crashplaces are interesting for me and "my" eyewitness.

Thank you in advance,

Heuser
