Herbert Sehnert + 11.06.1941
 

Hello to all,

Herbert Sehnert lies in Scottow Cemetery, Norfolk with a death date of the 11.06.1941. I cannot find any Luftwaffe loss for this chap? Can anyone help with any further details?

Kind regards,

Uffz. Sehnert was the WOP of a He 111 H-5, 6./KG53, plane missing may 5th 1941, target was Sheffield. 4 man still missing, so believe Uffz. Sehnert was washed ashore.

Hi Melvin:

The undertakers who "boxed up" Sehnert on 18(sic; 10?) June 1941 recorded an ID disk No: 62750/46.

No idea where or how his body came to be recovered, but presumably on the NE Norfolk coast.

Regards,

BC

Many thanks Bob for the additional info regarding ID disc!
I will e-mail you later as I need some further info on a Do 217 that crashed in Norfolk.

Kind regards
