"Hele den omkomne besætning blev ført til
Aabenraa, hvor begravelsen fandt sted den 1. maj 1944. Jordpåkastelsen
forrettedes af en tysk feltpræst, hvis division i foråret 1944 var flyttet fra
østfronten til Bramminge. Feltdegn ved begravelsen var den senere
højskoleforstander Niels Bøgh Andersen, der som sydslesviger var indkaldt til
den tyske værnemagt." (FAF)
All of the perished crew were taken to Aabenraa and buried on 1 May 1944. A German army chaplain assisted by Niels Bøgh Andersen officiated at the graveside. Their division had been moved from the front in Russia to Bramminge in South Jutland in the spring of 1944. Niels Bøgh Andersen from the Danish minority south of the border to Germany had to take part in the war like other citizens of Germany. After the war he became the head of a folk high school.
