The airline crashed near here about 10 miles west of Berlin Tegel Airport but the precise location needs to be found. 

Pan Am Flight 708

Pan Am Flight 708 (PA 708) was a cargo flight that crashed less than 10 mi (16 km) west-southwest of Tegel Airport in Berlin, Germany, in the early morning hours of November 15, 1966. The flight was operated by Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) Boeing 727-21 N317PA (Clipper München) routing from Frankfurt to Berlin Tegel. PA 708 was on initial approach when the accident occurred. All three crew members perished. The cause was undetermined because US investigators were not allowed to survey the accident site near Dallgow in the former East Germany and only half of the aircraft remains were returned by Soviet military authorities in East Germany to their US counterparts in erstwhile West Berlin.
