Among
nine bodies found after war to Ballancourt two were not able
to be identified. One of these two bodies is described so: "
Unknown: dead on August 15, 1944 Air Force".
It is in fact more likely, in view of date, that this body is
that of Uffz. Piepenbrung.
To know more about it I recommend
you the reading of this excellent book:
