My previous comments were off. I discovered you have my dad’s crash. Your data and mine indicate the crash was near Nagybanya (Baia Mare) in what was Hungary during WWII. It is now back in Romania. I don’t see a crash marker near Baia Mare, but feel certain the data is correct. Anyway after an exhausting search I located this entry by the crash date – which seems to have been December 19, 1944 (not Dec 26). Sorry for my confusion.
