1944 RAF loss Beckum (Germany)
Dear all,
in a short german newspaper clip (Glocke, 1998) http://www.heimatverein-beckum.de/fi...a%20meldet.pdf it is stated that in 1944 a RAF a/c was downed 2.6 miles east/north-east to the city of D-59269 Beckum at location 'Flimmerberg' near 'Stromberger Strasse' road. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fl...er=0&entry=ttu The author states that he remembers the "pilot's"' coffin at the hospital morgue. Any hints to which RAF a/c was downed near Beckum ? 22/23.03.1944 Lancaster ND672 RAF 49 Sqn EA-U seems a possibility. However, this one crashed at 'Keitlinghausen' almost 2 more miles north-east from 'Flimmerberg'. thank you kindly ! FrankieS
