Wow! So many posts and new information in just one day, thank you very much!
I live in the village where the Lancaser crashed in 1944. We want to install a memorial at our graveyard - the place were the crash happened.
I tried to find some descendants, but it seems that Harriette Strain in Fort Myers, FL was the last relative of John Edward Strain.

Hi buzzby,
your great Uncle Frank Woodward was shot down with his Lancaster in Stetten near Rottweil.
They crashed into the graveyard and the forest behind it. Some bombs exploded at the graveyard.
Kind regards
