This rosary (Catholic prayer chain) is found in Tanum church. It is
quite likely left behind by Ralph Maassen, one of the crew of the U.S.
plane that crashed the night of the 21. April 1945. Home forces brought
Maassen Ralph and Claude McClure at Tanum church Saturday 21. April in
the afternoon, and they remained hidden in the attic of the church to
Sunday afternoon. They where thus present at the Sunday worship 22.
April.
From Tanum church they where transported to Viksfjord and forth by boat
to Sweden.
Such rosary was specially made for Catholics in the U.S. Air Forces
during the war. The pilots has certainly left behind rosary in church to
show his gratitude to God that he had been rescued. |
