Kl 35D serial number 2032 crashed near Oddesund 26/9 1943.
The aircraft belonged to Ld.Kdo.65 and was coded BG+SN.
T/o Rom. Op: Target for flak.
The Kl 35 had for some time been flying over the Oddesund bridge and Oddesund
when it at 10:30 hours crashed into a uninhabited small house at Oddesund South
belonging to Colstrup & Andersen of Holstebro. The Kl 35 and the house caught
fire.
The first to reach the burning wreckage were members of the Wehrmacht who pulled
the crew of two from the wreck. One of the flyers was dead while the other was
severely wounded and suffered from burns. He was treated by the Wehrmacht but
died later on the same day.
When the Wehrmacht had pulled the crew from the
wreck they left the house to burn and the local police called for the fire
brigade from Lemvig to extinguish the fire.
The crew were Pilot Obergefreiter Friedrich Beran and Engineer Obergefreiter
Helmut Gries. A Field Priest officiated at the graveside ceremony when they were
laid to rest in Lemvig cemetery on 1/10 1943.
