German surveillance

In the morning there was a large German security around the plane so that no one was allowed in the wreck. Fortunately, the crash has little or no damage to the buildings. This was largely due to the fact that the crashed airplane exploded and caught fire no. Yet there was in the wreck still a lot of ammunition, including two small bombs and various chargers tires with ball machine guns. According to our informants, there was next to the unexploded ordnance, also a cage with two pigeons in the airplane.

The wreckage of the bomber ("Handley Page Hampden") were loaded on trucks. The Germans secure the four war victims. Roksem and in the vicinity were the toughest stories. A crew would have survived the crash and are in hiding, but these rumors were later formally denied. However, the occupying forces have taken this possibility into account, because on the days and weeks that followed the crash was an intense monitoring of residents conducted.
