Re: Pilot Killed in London Blitz- Which Squadron ?
6./ZG2 Messerschmitt Bf110D-0 (3629). Exploded over Vensons Farm, Eastry, under attack from F/Sgt J. Steere of No.72 Squadron 12.45 p.m. FF Fw Lorenz Beil and BF Obergefr Hans Oehl both killed. Aircraft A2+KL 100% write-off.
Scattered human remains collected from this site were originally buried as three 'Unknown German Airmen' in Graves 137 - 139 at Aylesham Cemetery on September 5, one being incorrectly identified as Obergefr Eisold a name found on a parachute and document recovered by RAF Intelligence. They were subsequently re-interred in the Soldatenfriedhof at Cannock Chase on October 30, 1962.
