After the war ended, the Army dug up both sets of remains, finding they wore German clothing. Using fingerprints, one was identified as U.S. Army Pvt. James Bowman, who had been in the turret of the car next to Gordon.

Why German clothing? Spy mission?

That is strange. I would not expect an ordinary G.I. to be on a spy mission. He was a Canadian citizen. Did he have German relatives?
