Re: Seeking info on three Do18 crewmen from 2./KüFlGr906 rescued by U-30 on 28.03.40

Hello,

As a result of the inputs above by "lilsis" we Peter Cornwell has amended our loss entry for the 10.04.40 loss of 8L+KK. To complete this we still need the first name of the BO, Oblt zer See ____ Manke.

"10 April 1940 North Sea Operations: 2./KüFlGr. 906 Dornier Do18D-3 (831). Crashed attempting forced-landing in Lister Ley, off Morsum Cliff, north of the Hindenburgdamm, on return from long-range night sortie 12.15 a.m. FF Uffz Otto Backhaus and BM Uffz August Haupt both drowned, BO Oberlt zur See [ ] Manke rescued unhurt. Aircraft 8L+KK 100% write-off."

Can anyone provide Manke's first name? "lilsis"?
