A photo from a museum display in Zoersel, Belgium shows how residents of the town risked danger to place flowers at the town hall in honor of Staff Sgt. Joe Schreppel after the crash of the B-17 Jolly Roger on Aug. 17, 1943. The caption above the photo in Dutch says, “On October 7, 1943, doctor De Wandelaer was arrested and sentenced to two months in prison, because he had also paid tribute to the American pilot in August 1943.” (Photo by Misty Schreppel)
