Case # 12-1545 Victim’s names.

Charge 1 - Pilot 1st Lt. Emil Berry, Co-pilot 2nd Lt. John B. Good, Tail Gunner S/Sgt Lewis E. Pulsipher, all of B-24H #42-52467 "Hula Wahine II" of 446th Bomb Group / 704th Bomb Squadron, downed 31/07/44

Charge 2 - Engineer/Top Turret Gunner T/Sgt Charles E. Wyatt Jr., Waist Gunner Sgt Ted Zemonek, Waist Gunner Pvt. Jack A. Maxwell, Tail Gunner Sgt Willard R. Fetterhoff,

                 all of B-24H #41-29177 "Ginger", 446th Bomb Group, 706th Bomb Squadron, downed 26 August 1944.

 

Please note the spellings in the above list are the correct German spellings of the perpetrator’s names.  In the Marburg data base, the spellings are the Anglicised versions,
as US typewriters did not have keys to produce German characters, such as ä,
ö, ü and ß. So Förschner is given as Foerschner, Häger is shown as Haeger and Weiß as Weiss, etc.
