Heinkel 111 7/KG55 loss 13.03.1941
13 March 1941 He111 P-2 7./KG55
Gl+MR Wk Nr 2806 (P) Oblt. Walter Hesse
(58246/58) Staffelkapitän PoW (O) Fw. Gottfried
Groschopf (58246/252) PoW, (W) Ofw. Bernhard
Manek (58246/109) killed and (FE) Fw. Helmut
Klein (67020/54) killed. Crashed at Wood Farm,
NE of Bramdean, Hampshire, during a mission to
Liverpool. Shot down by P/O A.J. Hodgkinson
and Sgt. B.E. Dye in a Beaufighter from No. 219 Sqn.
For a time Ofw. Bernhard Manek and Fw. Helmut Klein were buried in our local graveyard. Does anybody know anything of their personal history, or indeed that of any of the others in the crews?
Thanks in advance for any help.
