I maj 1948 blev 133 faldne amerikanske flyvere ført ud af Danmark for,
som det hed sig, at blive begravet i USA. Mere om tallet.
Anders Bjørnvad fik under besøg i 1979 bekræftet, at de alle i første
omgang blev ført til kirkegården 20 km sydvest for Liege i Belgien
Ardennes American Cemetery. 133 amerikanske flyvere efter 1948.
33 af dem hviler stadig der, heraf 27 i række B 39, Denmark Row.
5 USAAF flyvere hviler fortsat i Danmark, hvor graven bliver passet af
sognet med blomster og dekorationer. Liget er taget bort alle andre
steder, men stenen er blevet stående en del steder, nu som mindesten,
og der pyntes året rundt, som var det stadig en rigtig grav! Se Højer.

In May 1948 133 fallen American airmen were taken out of Denmark
to be buried in the USA, it was said. More about the number.
It was confirmed to Anders Bjørnvad during a visit in 1979 that they all in
the first place were taken to ARD 12 miles SW of Liege in Belgium:
Ardennes American Cemetery. The 133 American airmen after 1948.
33 of them still rest there, 27 of them in row B 39, Denmark Row.
5 USAAF airmen still rest in Denmark, where the grave is kept by the
parish with flowers and decorations. The body has been taken away all
other places, but the stone is still there a number of places, now as a
memorial stone, and it is kept and decorated, as if it still were a real
grave! See Højer.
See 449 Americans Killed Serving in Bomber Command, see 9 of them
