More than 70 years after he was executed by the Germans, WWII ace finds rest
The body rested more than 70 years in an American cemetery in France before researchers felt certain its story matched that of Capt. Albert Schlegel. The ace of Cleveland, Ohio. He was a local legend who had been declared killed in action in 1944 after flying a mission over France. Schlegel will be buried with full military honors in Beaufort National Cemetery at the end of March.
