Hello,
I would like to know the crashplace of the Do 18D-3 WNr 819 of 2./KüGr 906, lost on 10 June 1940.
I have two possible locations:
_
http://www.rafandluftwaffe.info/luftwaffe1.html gives the location of Gardvik, 40 km north of Haugesund: there is a place calle Gardvik near Etne, 45 km NE of Haugesund
_
http://www.historisches-marinearchiv.de says the crash happens "2,5 nautical miles outside Haugesund"
According to the second source, the crew was the following:
(FF) Fw. Heinrich Wraage KIFA
(B) Ltn.z.S. Max Altenkrüger KIFA
(BF) Uffz. Gerhard Krause KIFA
(BM) Uffz. Walter Ernst unhurt
To confuse things a little more, Lt Altenkrüger is on the Volksbund database: he is commemorated on the Kriegsmarine memorial at Laboe with a date of death given as 11 June 1940.
An Uffz Gerhard Krause (a far more common name) is buried in Trondheim, and is also shown to have died on 11 June.
Thanks in advance
