Luisterplek 218 - Een kruis in de Peel

Once upon a time there was a large cross of honor on the deserted Peel. It marked the spot where a bomber crashed on February 7, 1945. It was hit by German night fighters equipped with a new radar system. Allied bombers that were hit tried to land in already liberated areas such as the Peel. Similarly, the Halifax NA-197 and the Halifax NA-260 with a French crew on board. Two of them are buried at the spot where the plane crashed.
