Obergefreiter Willi SCHOCKE
 

Can anyone identify the background to Willi Schocke, age 21, recovered from Stokes Bay, Gosport, with Engelbert Gotz on 15 October 1940 and buried at Anns Hill, Gosport, on 17 October? Gotz was a crew member of a 3(F)/123 Junkers 88 lost on 23 September, but where did Schocke come from?

Thank you, Brian! That makes sense now. The Anns Hill register extract I have says he was found with Gotz in Stokes Bay on 15th October. Clearly an error.
