Good morning, this AC did not crash Ludwigshafen, it may have been hit there, but it crashed in Niedermohr. See attached link. Much debris still present. Located on private property.

I am curious. Could you send me the link and possibly the exact location of the crash site? My grandfather was Jack Z. Powell, flight engineer/top turret gunner. Thank you.
