Under date of •arch 24, 1944, The Adjutant General notif j e ~ you t hat your husband, Second Lieutenant Vial ter L. Rer;oli / had been reported n iBaing i n action ~er Germany s inee March 6th.
Further information has been rece i ved indieatin~ that Lieutenant Regoli was a erew ... ber of a B-17, (Flyin~ Fortreaa), whi ch depart ed from England on a bombardment ~iasion to Berlin on •arch 6th. Full oetai l! are not available, but the report indicates that j ust before b~b ing the target our planes ware subjected to intense antiaircraft f i re, as a result of which your huaband's plene austa ine~ damage and tell t9war~ earth. The report !'urther states that five or 6ix pe.rachutes were seen to leave the disabled craf t t:t a it was deseendi n_r.. The i ntensity o f the enemy action prevented further observation by crew members of other planes in the fo~a
tion, therefore there is no other infonuation available at th i s t~e.
Due to necessity for military security. it is regretted that the names of those •~o were in the plane. and the names an d addresses of the j r next of kin. aay not be furn i she d at the present t1me.
'l'he great anxiety caused you by failure to receive more deta ills concerning your huaband'a disappearance ia fully reali&ed. Pleaae be aaaured that any additional informatio'n rece ived will be conveyed imrr.ediately to j'Ou by The Adjutant General or this headquarters.

Seven (7) of the eight casua lties from subject crash have been recovered directly and/ or indirectly from Field One at Doeberitz in the burial pattern including Graves 8 thru 14 of Row 7 and Graves 14 thru 10 of Row 8 in that order. Unknown X-9272 was originally interred in Grave 14 of Row 8 but had been erroneously removed by the British as an Unknown British Airman in December 1946 and subse_quently interred in Plot V, Row J, Grave 1 at the Heerstrasse British War Cemetery in Berlin.
Identifying media listed above indica~es conclusively that Unknown X-9272 represents t h e remains of 1/Lt. Walter L. REGOLI.
