a starting point might be the newspaper library at Colindale, north London. It is almost opposite Colindale underground. There is no parking, but you can take your chance in side streets. You will need identification (gas bills etc) for a readers ticket. If you can read the local languages it will help, but the UK newspapers probably mentioned it. Some papers are on microfilm and some on paper. The staff are helpful if you ask them.
I have found reference to certain facts.
It was Germany, in 1947 and 104 American Soldiers were killed.
I know that it's not a lot of help but it may lead you somewhere.

I couldn't find any record of that event, perhaps you might find something here:
