An American airman near the spring of the river Telhuet

December 18, 2010

In the mid 1980's, I was having a walk near the spring of the river Telhuet, a small stream that flows through Notre Dame de Gravenchon, Seine-Maritime, France before reaching the Seine. A man, about the age of my grand-father came to me and started talking about the war. He told me that a USAF aircraft had been shot down by the Germans during the war not far from ND de Gravenchon and that one of the survivors of the crash had been hidden by French patriots in bushes surrounding the spring. Germans troops drove on several occasions on the nearby road without suspecting the presence of the enemy serviceman.

About 500 meters from the spring, I noticed some metal debris in a yard that seem to come from an aircraft. Is it related to the same crash? I am not sure but it is very likely.

 

What happened to the American serviceman? Was he finally arrested by the Germans? Or did the patriots manage to send him back to the UK? Or did simply wait for the British Army to come and liberate the region?
