Post Presumption Memorandum 14 March 1949<P>
This document was taken from the Canadian Archives. It lists all of the crew members (4 RAF, 2 RCAF) killed when the aircraft. Halifax III DT620, was shot down by a German night-fighter as it flew towards its drop zone in Poland. Flying at only 700 ft, the crew had no chance of survival when the aircraft exploded with the first burst of cannon fire.
Their bodies were recovered from the sea over the next few months and buried in the cemetery in Copenhagen. This document is the final statement on the fate of the crew.

MR & ES Casualty Enquiry D122 page 1
This document was sent from a field unit that searched for missing aircrew in Europe during and after the war. They traveled around specific regions trying to identify bodies when found. Often that meant exhumation and searching of the remains or identification artifacts such as clothing, letters, ID discs etc. These units continued on a much smaller scale in later years, but still exist today.<P>
This two page report needs no explanation.<P>
