In the continuing quest to find more information about the immediate aftermath of the crash of the MacRobert's Reply on 18 May 1942, an article has appeared (today 28 August) in the Elbo Bladet newspaper in Denmark. It is copied below (for those of you who know Danish!). Click on any page for the bigger image.

The article covers the crash, and the story from that time on (as we currenty know it), but asks for any surviving eye witnesses to the crash, or relatives of those who may have known of it at the time. It is our hope to uncover some vital clues to identify the person(s) who found Sgt Jeffs and took him to the Adlerhus, thereby almost certainly saving his life. Without their help, the help of the Danish Resistance Movement, and the subsequent kindness of the doctors and medical staff of Fredericia Hospital, he probably would not have survived, and I wouldn't be here today trying to find this information about the sole survivor!

I'd like to acknowledge the help and assistance given by Bo and Axel Sommerby in the project to find this mystery person, and the considerable time and effort they have put in to enable this article to be circulated across Denmark. Thanks guys.
