Pilot 2nd/Lt. Henry F. Telken KIA
Target: OBERPFAFFENHOFEN Germany
MISSING AIRCREW REPORT: #07247
Date Lost: 21-Jul-44
Serial Number: #42-94907
Aircraft Model B-24
Aircraft Letter: "U"
Aircraft Name: (NO NICKNAME) 15th Mission
Location: the Ammersee
Cause: German fighters Crew of 9 8KIA 1POW
The original target assignment received the evening on 20 July was the St. Lo area on tactical targets in support of Allied troops. Later it was changed and once more the 392nd's casualties would be high. General briefings were conducted at 0230 and 0330 hours for 24 aircrews with the 576th and 579th assigned to lead. A force of 23 ships went over the target area releasing bombs. Despite fierce attacks on the bomb run by an estimated 25-30 ME-109s and ME-410s, bombing results achieved were good. Enemy fighter attacks were vicious and persistent causing the ultimate loss of (5) aircraft and (3) crews MIA and others wounded or killed.
MISSION LOSS CIRCUMSTANCES: One very sketchy eye-witness report from a returning crew member (Lt. Frey, Navigator, 576th) stated that this aircraft had #2 engine hit almost tearing off the wing; that the wing was set on fire; and the aircraft when last seen was going down in a steep glide in flames. He noted that (3) chutes were believed seen belonging to this ship. (Note: This MACR film is of very poor quality and very difficult to read on this portion relating to the after-mission observations, but the above is discernible). A German Report #KU2543 of 22 July, Airbase Hqs A (o) 12/7 at Fuerstenfeldbruck, had two supplementaries these report summations pointed directly to this plane due to the exact times, date, and place cited in the loss (Lts. Carey and Menard) were positively identified by the German ground reports in their respective MACR files. These referenced reports on the Telken aircrew were as follows: that an enemy plane had crashed on 21 July into the Ammersee (Note: This body of water is a large lake about (12) miles due east of Landsberg, Germany, and approximately (25) miles southwest of Munich). One report went on to state the aircraft, probably a Liberator B-24, sank into the water (1.5) kilometers east of Utting, (a small town) on the west bank of the Ammersee; that no parachutes were seen coming from the plane before it crashed, thus the crew was probably dead in the plane; that no markings of the aircraft were observed, but it had four motors; and that since the aircraft had sunk in the lake any salvage operation at the time was impossible. Another supplementary report relating to #KU2543, dated a few days later on 26 July, same headquarters, stated the finding of an unknown, unidentified crew member just north of the village of Utting/Ammersee which presumably was one from the Liberator in the lake. This unidentified crewman was buried in the parish-church cemetery at Oberpfaffenhofen, left side of the entrance, on 25 July according to this later report. And a third which reads: "unknown bodies and unknown prisoners of January 1945". (Note: This unreadable page is in the Telken crew's MACR and identified with this MACR number thus it can only be concluded that the U.S. processing personnel at the time knew enough that the page in question did belong in this specific file, having extracted enough bare information from it to conclude such. The blank page in question does have: Four sets of parenthesis marks, ie. [....], readable as such but with no names enclosed in any of the four. These might have been names of some of these members who were positively identified as ‘KIA', or ‘POW', later - those who may have escaped the stricken plane before it went into the Amaersee...conjecture? One set of facts is certain from all these generalities: the MACR final processing in times then does reflect that (2) crew members from this plane did survive and after liberation were evacuated to the U.S.; ie., Sgts. Cusick and Higgins).
INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS OF CREWMEN FATES: After the war, S/Sgt Cuzick, the only survivor, submitted this Casualty Questionnaire: "oxygen was gone and I was about gone. One pilot or copilot opened top hatch and left, the other was still in when I escaped. I didn't see any other chutes but I was unconscious most of the way down. I do remember them shooting at me three times coming down. The remainder of crew I know nothing about."
After the war, the Army investigated this crash thoroughly. The plane impacted in the Ammersee about 15 feet from the shore where the water was 3 to 5 feet deep. The wreck was salvaged in June 1947 and the remains of five crewmembers were discovered inside. Also found were various personal items, including Sgt. Higgins' dog tag, a gold ring with the name "Bond" inscribed on the back, a wallet belonging to 1/Lt Tschudy, a Bulova watch with the name "Harold Board" and a gold ring with Sgt Lindley's initials. The Army also took a statement from Dr. Kaesbohrer at Hospital Seefeld who declared that S/Sgt Cuzick had parachuted on 21 July 1944 and landed in Oberalting. He was injured on the right shank and had a bad bullet wound on the left foot. Dr. Kaesborher had to amputate five toes. Cuzick remained in hospital Seefeld until 17 August 1944 when he was transferred to the Military hospital at Herrsching.
BURIAL RECORDS: Three men were buried in the cemetery at Oberschondorf (located on the shore of the Ammersee adjacent to Utting, near the plane crash). Inside one of their coffins the Army later found a portion of a parachute marked "H.T." This was seen as proof that the burials were for 2/Lt Telken and two of his crew. With remains of five men found in the wreckage, all eight casualties from this crew are accounted for. All the remains recovered from this crew were interred in a common grave at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, Section 84 Site 251-253. The memorial for Sgt. Bond at Round Hill Cemetery Indianapolis Indiana is a cenotaph.
