TRYING TO TRACE
MISSING ALLIED AIRMEN?
LOOKING FOR INFORMATION OF
CRASHED AIRCRAFT?
A few years ago Ger Boogmans and Christel Strebus have made it part of their life to trace missing allied airmen of World War II, who have gone missing over Western Europe, especially The Netherlands.
Through investigating they now have an extensive archive with over 5,000 crashes of mainly Commonwealth Bomber Command airccraft. That information is available for anybody who wants to know anything.
When an aircraft was traced through extensive investigations the information was handed over to the authorities, the Royal Netherlands Air Force
Recovery Team.
After permission of the local authorities, they recovered the aircraft. When the identification was finished the relatives were informed through the Ministries of Defence and the
airmen could finally be buried with full military honours.
The past 2 years our lives have developed in different ways, and although we are currently not actively tracing the missing airmen, we still would like to offer next-of-kin and interested parties the opportunity to get information they are looking for.
Living in a free country, we owe it to those who fought for our freedom!
