F/o H.Rubenstein RCAF 424 Squadron

[michel]

Hello,

I,m Looking for info/picture of F/o. H Rubenstein RCAF.
He was the bombadier of the F/s.Cozens crew.
This plane ,Lancaster ME-456 crash landed on 21-02-1945
but where? Wo can tell me the exact crashplace
F/o H Rubenstein jump out of his plane and came down in the outkits
off Linne-Netherlands.

The next Morning one of the downed pilots, a Canadian, crawled into the field in front of the company. A GI seeing a figure crawling towards him nearly shot him. The GI asked for the password but the pilot didn't respond. The GI yelled " Stick your damn head up and I'll blow it off." That got a response from the Canadian who recognized the American accent and called out who he was. He was wet, tired and hungry, so we fed and warmed him before we sent him to the rear. We wondered how he had made it into the little triangle of land formed by the Roer, the Maas and front lines.

If you can help please let me know...........

Regards, Michel
