The Kristiansen family still could not believe the discovery. Klaus likened the excavation to the act of opening a book from the past. What makes it truly remarkable is the fact that the pages of this figurative book had not been leafed through in several decades! Could it possibly tell us anything about that period in history?

Klaus had been living nearby for four decades and not once did he notice any metal there. For some time, he was under the impression that the German forces took the plane. Mostly, however, he believed to be the product of his grandfather’s imagination. Klaus said that while it was a good story, the rest of the family didn’t take notice of it. Some even went as far as to say that his grandfather was turning senile. What a mistake this turned out to be!
