I am doing research on P/O S.G de Vis. RAAF and his crew mates. Halifax RG529 Lost 9/3/45. All crew baled out in the vicinity of Opladen but were shot within hours of capture. Crew were Sgt R. A. C. Pearce F/Sgt J. A. Anderson P/O T. M. Kerr P/O S. G. de Vis RAAF F/Sgt J. Dyke P/O W. J. Edwards. All buried at Hauptfreidhof, reburied at Rheinberg War Cemetery. I am researching the angle that they were captured then within hours they were executed and their was a trial by the Germans who found a Lt Karl Schaefer guilty and gave him 15 Yrs and they executed another German soldier? Can you shed any light on this and if so where can I obtain any info. Rob Rytir Photographs If you have any Photographs you would like to share please get in touch. List of those who served here.
