				Oberammergau crash - 332nd FG involved ?
			 Allo! I came back from Oberammergau (Bayern) where I met some witnesses of one - but possibly two - crash(es) at one day apart. As often, precise info's lack and testimonies are quite messy. A lady remembered a dogfight between two fighters, resulting in the fall of an allied aircraft (the pilot was a 'black' man as said!). The next day, a US bomber crashed in the area (where?) with at least one casualty. I was shown the crash area in Moors lands, North of Oberammergau. Back to papers: On the 18th July 44, at least 03 P-51 of 332nd FG were lost in the area of Kempten (escort for Memmingen A/F bombing); which is not very far from O'gau. The next day, a B-24 (42-52401) from 760th BS was lost near Kelschau (NE of O'gau) with the navigator dead. I am wondering if it could be one of those P-51 (Hutton, Irving or Browne) lost on the 18/07/44 which crashed in Oberammergau? Moreover it seems there is a claim for a P-51 by Uffz. Hans HAHN of 3./JG 300 on the 18/07/44 at 10.50 near Staffelsee which is roughly 15 km NE from O'gau. Has a 'local' researcher investigated in that particular loss? Best regards ClinA-78 |
