Guessing the German military records were used as the source for tracking remains and location. I wonder if they requested help from German government. Germans must have had some flak AA guns hiding in ambush. Americans became more careful later in war 1943 was bloodbath. At one point in '43 Americans were on the verge of losing the battle for air supremacy and learned costly lessons that year.
