Black Thursday: Crismon and Scarborough crew

My name is Norbert Vollmann. I'm living in the vicinity of Schweinfurt in Germany and I'm doing temporarily investigations about the exactly crashlocations of the lost 60 B-17 on Black Thursday.
In relation to a few crews it is difficult to find the real crashsite. Who can help with informations about the exactly place or the area where the ship went down or in relation to the first villages, towns or hospitals where the airmen were brought to after their capture through the German authorities in relation to the following crews:



Oliver W. Crismon (351 BG, 511 BS, B-17 Serialnumber 42-6096)






John J. Scarborough (96 BG, 339 BS, B-17 Serialnumber 42-30806).

Scarborough crew is reported to have crashed in France and Germany, too???.

I know about the MACRs, but they aren’t really helpful regarding the crashsite.



Any Information would be most welcome!

Please send me a private mail as possible.


Thanks for all support and all your efforts.
