Europe / W.W. 11 Crash site Memorial.
« on: Friday 21 January 22 00:03 GMT (UK) »
On the night of 2/3 August, 1943, a Lancaster Bomber crashed with the crew on board
S / SW of Buxtehude and lies under the Meadows of the Este River. Only in 2017 was the site positively identified and a memorial erected with the names of the crew in German & English. The location of that memorial is said to be near the crash site in a water meadow near the Este River, between the villages of Daensen & Nindorf. Between the Covid Pandemic and the fact that I am now 80 years old, it is unlikely I will ever be able to make a personal visit. I would like to know if any newspaper or resident may have a photograph of this Granite Memorial. Any help or further advice would be greatly appreciated
