Hello,
We adopted the grave of Milton Spangenberg in Margraten cemetery in the Netherlands who died in WO II in this accident. We are looking for his family to contact. So we can send pictures and show our respect!

My dad witnessed the crash of this B-17 as a six year old boy. Now he is 88-years old and memories come flooding back.
