The village hasn’t changed much, but some buildings have been remodeled, Heucke said. Most of the older farm houses are still standing.

While driving through East Germany was like going back in time. The buildings were all old. He has a chance to find his wings.

Weren’t the wings then made of pot metal an silver plated or nickle plated ?

Not sure if they would survive a wet earth environment. I know uxo we dug up over there from that war was in really bad shape.

Hope the man finds his wings.

With only a very few reservations, I wish somebody could dig up that pilot’s long-buried America.

Of the 12 men aboard Georgette, only one died that day, shot in the head by his German captors, Harding found out later. The others were all captured and survived the war, but have since died... As the years passed, Harding didn't think much about his wings. He wasn't sure how the German villagers would treat an American pilot who had bombed their country. Then last year, he attended services at Arlington National Cemetery for six airmen whose remains had only recently been discovered with the help of German villagers. Harding began to think Klein Quenstedt residents might help him recover his wings and close a chapter in his life.
Wow. Thanks Jet Jaguar.
