Re: Wellington JA118 432 Squadron
I've as a possible crash location a wooded area NW of Keppeln, about 3 km N of Uedem. The crew were initially buried at Mönchengladbach 7-9-1943 (four of the graves have an inscription 'Buried near this spot' which means that the Grave Concentration Units (GCU's) at the time had their problems).
Regards, Henk. |
