43-37655 war XR-K und Verlust war durch Jäger, nicht durch die Flak, verfüge über Augenzeugenbericht dazu. Gruß Stephan

Cockpit hit Hassenhausen village center and went down so deep it had to be pulled out with two tractors. Fuselage & wing came down south of village. The plane was unnamed and manned by a rookie crew.
