Re: 1st Lt Louis Werfel - DNB 24 Dec 1943 - N. Africa
Leendert,
Very interesting. From the account of Ray Sherman who saw (or heard) the crash, he was located about 6 miles from St Cloud. He talks about walking to St Cloud from camp. Today St Cloud is called Gdyel. On Google maps there is also a "Foret des Lions" between Gdyel and Oran and also La Montagne des Lions. I suspect that this the crash site. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dj...1!1e4?hl=en-US Also a reference here to Lion Mountain as Djebel Khar. I am thinking it is now quite possible Werfel was on the B-25, perhaps with some other non-321st BG passengers. https://books.google.com/books?id=sM...untain&f=false Possibly Werfel's IDPF file would hold the answers, but it would take almost a year to get it.
