My uncle was the copilot on this plane, Raymond Ankeny who died when the plane was shot down. His remains were buried in Oberfrauendorf at that time, before being moved the the US military cemetery in Ardennes Belgium. I would like any information about the location where the plane crashed, where he would have been buried, as well as any information about the crew that died or survived.
