"Her farther, Mr. Heinrich Busch, the local carpenter, organized the funeral here in the village and built the coffins. When the bodies where moved to Hannover he received a letter from RAF or RCAF authorities, in which they expressed their thanks for his work and support. (Flowers on the grave etc.)"

We add our thanks to the people of Eberholzen for their care of Harry and his fellow crew members, and in particular to Uwe for his kind assistance in providing this information. 

The circled dot indicates the location of Eberholzen and the crash site of Harry's plane.

Holger Neumann, of Eberholzen has indicated on a detailed satellite photo, the precise location of the crash site. Holger has researched the site with family elders and has indicated by the red rectangle the site in relation to the community of Eberholzen. Linking to the Google mapping Service will allow you to zoom in on the crash site as well as explore Eberholzen and the surrounding area. Click on the map below to access the Google mapping service.

Holger has also found amazing photos of the wreckage of LK-917 taken during wartime more than 60 years ago.

In April 2003, Uwe Spillmann provided the following photos showing the beautiful rural landscape where he understood the plane came down. 

 Uwe believed the plane came to rest in the trees where his daughter is standing.

With the passage of time, more than sixty years in number, nature has reclaimed the site and covered the scarred earth where bomber LK-917 crashed. In similar fashion, time has healed many of the wounds of war between our nation and the people of Germany.
