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.
