On April 10 , 1941 a HE111 from III/KG40 was shot down 3 miles south-west of St.David's Head by fighters from No79 . I believe all the crew were killed , can anybody please give me their names and were any bodies washed ashore later ?
Thanks

V4+CH for Heyworth and V4+HH for Sawicz ?

Thanks Matti and udt_00 , I am still a little confused . So who shot down what ?
Did Heyworth shoot down V4 + HH or was it Sawicz ?

Both Karl Bucek and Hans Salzsieder are KIA on 41-04-09 according to volksbund.de
So 41-04-09 must be the correct day.

Karl Bucek was originally buried at Pembroke Dock Military Cemetery. He is now buried at Cannock Chase, Block 7, Grave 292.

Hans Salzseider is recorded as lost, but has no known grave.
