Re: Burial records
Hi Berk,
Few years before i've purchased a downed american pilot who was killed east of France on august 27 1944. He was first buried by german troops in a civil cemetery, not in the village of the crash but the next town. It was usual for german soldiers to bury allied KIA pilots far from the crash site, most of the time early in the morning or late at evening, because they don't want local to honor the downed pilot. At the end of september 1944, after liberation, body was recovered by american troops then buried in a temporary US cemetery (Varois near Dijon). In 1947, body was sent to Epinal Dinoze US cemetery, then given to the family (end of 1947). All details were given by IDPF wich was really very accurate. Good luck Stephane Muret
