While looking for a MIA infantry soldier found parts of Lancaster HK664

Hallo Herr Weber, yes the Ferschweiler Plateau is where we were working that day. One of my friends from LX said there was a very big piece laying there until a while ago and someone must have recently taken the part along. My guess is it was a large chunk of cowling. By the way Herr Weber, do you know anyone who has found parts of a P-47 near Paschel, Saarland?

By the way, do you have the recon picture you mentioned? I would love to look at it.

Thanks, Danny, von Hohenfels, Bayern

Plan has an 8 men crew, armed with one .50BMG. 1990-1992 I found pieces from the cockpit, pilots seat etc.

Interesting, I might put her on my lost for research for a later date being that there are still 5 missing crew. But first I have to focus on the P-47 in Paschel. Danny

Around Paschel was heavy fighting between US-Forces and 6.SS-Gebirgsdivison "Nord" during March 1945. Another P-47 Pilot is still missing near Hentern. (Oktober 1944, shoot down by AA over Saarburg, Pilot bailed out and escaped but still MIA).
