On May 6 , 1941 a HE111 H-3 " V4+DK" wrk nr. 4063 of III./KG40 crashed off the South East coast of Ireland . Two crew members survived , Oblt. Walter Hollborn (pilot) and Uffz. Josef Emmerich ( gunner) . Fw. Walther Franke ( radio operator) and Ofw. Erwin Seyfried (navigator) were killed in the crash . Hollborn and Emmerich were interned in Ireland .

Can anybody add to this and if possible can anybody tell me where Franke came from in Germany , thanks.
