Re: Unknown graves of pilots 1.1.45
I am not sure but does the disscussed photo show a rather bent and twisted fuselage section at Ghent?
If so, this can be aircraft described by Jerzy Główczewski, 308 Sqn, as crashed without wings and with a decapitated pilot still in the cockpit. Reputedly wing from the aircraft was used as a background for several portraits of Polish airmen.
Lack of graves may be explained by the lack of bodies - many German aircraft were reported to burn and I do not think anybody cared to make symbolic graves not even knowing names of the airmen in question.
