Looking for crashsite 2nd attempt

Hi ALL,
today 78 years ago, 2nd LT. Harvey Pansch started for a reconn. tour to Munich.
On his flight back he crashed somewhere between Innsbruck and Trento-Rovereto.
Actually is was not possible to identify ever his crashsite and he did not know it too.. His last known coordin. do not give a crashsite for a F-5E. One single hint by Pansch is, that he saw his plane crashing into a mountain, causing there an avalanche. He landed save and met a group of „Italian??“ speaking workers.
Very soon he was escorted as a POW to Moosburg Bavaria.
We only have this data:
26-3-45, last known pos.: 47 10 E, 11 25 N, MACR 13370,, time: 12 10.
How long did it take him to reach Munich starting in San Severo??
Simple question. Where did he come down, crashite must be close to him ?
We need F-5 debris and a memorized day exactly or close to 26-3-1945.
Thx for your contributions.

Re: Looking for crashsite 2nd attempt

The date is correct.

The tail code was 44-24486.

He was with the 5th PRG and 32nd PRS.
