On 27 May 1944 the Flying Fortress “Delayed Lady” of American pilot William E. De e (in the crew photo front row, far left) was hit by flak and crashed near Differten (Saarlouis County).

The unusual thing about this case is that, as a result of the research, contact could be established to 7 crewmembers. In one case relatives of a crewmember could be traced. One crewmember was KIA during the crash. Another unusual thing is that a photo taken right after the capture of the crewmembers was found, whose background is explained in the English article below. Mentioned in it is George Hatcher, radio operator of the ship, who can be seen in the back row second from left in the crew photo.
