The E&E report for David Kramer:
https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556531 For those with fold3 access, Kramer's MACR: https://www.fold3.com/image/28703311 Kramer was helped by the "Comet Line", search for Kramer here: http://www.cometeline.org/cometaviateurpasse.html Kramer's E&E report mentions another evader "Herminsky" who was probably Lloyd V Hermanski. Hermanski's E&E is here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556616 Hermanski's MACR (B-24 41-29118, "Nine Yanks and a Jerk" ) is here: https://www.fold3.com/image/29623708 Last edited by RSwank; 10th October 2018 at 14:44. |

With regard to the place of the claims by JG3 (Tilburg/Dender-Monde),it's more than obvious.Only the JG3 make claims in the region.
The claims of Grunberg,Lemke,Thyben,are founded:100%!....remarkable! Michel |
