Re: 1st Lt Louis Werfel - DNB 24 Dec 1943 - N. Africa

Thanks for the input so far.

I had come across the otherwise unrecorded B-25 crash on Lion Mountain outside Oran on 24 Dec 1943, but online 321st BG and 446th BS reports only mention Lt Klang, his CP Lt Henson and 3 x PAX, all of the squadron (Lt Graham, Sgt Carnes and Sgt Bonacich).

Is it possible that the BG/BS accounts only have listed their own lost men?

Perhaps Chaplain Werfel and others had hitched a ride. In an article World War II Chaplain Program I received, there's talk that Werfel was killed in a plane crash on Iron Mountain, Oran, Algeria, 24 December 1943.....

Iron Mountain a mistake for Lion Mountain? Didn't find the former on the map....

Will certainly look further.

Regards,

Leendert
