Undlad at trampe og mase
dig vej gennem beplantningen - der er en lettere
vej.
I den nordlige ende af Frederikshavn kirkegård finder man
krigsgravene. Her ligger tyskere og allierede fra anden verdenskrig
begravet. Her ligger 232 flygtninge, 1220 tyske soldater og 65
allierede.
Gravene besøges stadig af pårørende, og denne sommer (2010), har en
af de New Zealandske flyvere haft besøg af sin niece. Hun har sat
et billede op af sin onkel, William Stuart Masters.
Det kan lade sig gøre at finde mere information om mange af de
(især allierede) soldater der ligger her.
William Stuart Masters var Pilot Officer i Royal New Zewzealand Air
Force. Den 4. november 1943 kl. 16:00, lettede W.S. Masters og
resten af den 7 mand store besætning, fra Mepal i Cambridgeshire,
England i deres fly - en Short Stirling
De skulle ud på Operation Gardening Silverthorn, en
mineudlægningsoperation i Kattegat og/eller Østersøen.
Kl 21:10 blev de skudt ned af en tysk JU 88 Night Fighter fløjet af
Lt. Hindelmayer. Flyet eksploderede i luften, og styrtede ned ved
Snedsted i Thy. Alle 7 besætningsmedlemmer døde, og de 6 blev
begravet i Frederikshavn d. 13. november 1943. Det 7.
besætningsmedlem, Sgt. Copeland fandt man aldrig.
