UPL 60272 UPL 60272 B-17 "Toonerville Trolley". Blaubach Germany, Rheinland-Pfalz.

Picture was taken by my Father-in-law, who was in the Hitler Youth at the time.

Him and my future Mother-in-law (BDM) watched it fly over their village. After it crashed, he and his best friend rode their bikes out to the crash to take pictures.

I apologize. It was BUBACH, not BLAUBACH.
Blaubach is located just outside Kusel, and about 8 kilometers from Pfeffelbach where my Frau and her family come from.
Bubach is in the other direction, just over the Saarland border and a part of St. Wendel. See Bubach (St. Wendel).
I always get the 2 confused.
Sorry.
