Here the a German A/A flack battery, what strikes me is that the soldiers have on their helmets the insignia of the French Brigade , which according to my knowledge were not very active in Roumania

Here is the crash site on the Prahova river of the OLE KICK KAPOO of Lt Hughes and its crew as inspected by the Roumania police shortly after the crash ...there are several crash photos of Hughes never seen before.......I guess Freeman was at the Roumanian archives

I have a map (from Romanian archives) with all the palnes (american, romanian and german) crashed to Tidal Wave. It's too large and it's a very difficult to scan. It's interesting that on this map are pointed only 34 B-24's wrecks

Alex, be aware not all the pictures are related to Tidal Wave. This picture with alarm at Pipera ( 6FG) was taken in 1944. The IAR 81C (nr344,) were not produced in summer 1943. |

The map that I mentioned is from Romanian archives. It's original from Tidal Wave
because this map is in an official rapport from Presedentia Consiliului de Ministri |
