Re: Loss of Do 17Z-3, 3/KG2, Oblt Brandenburg, 16.08.1940.

Joe,
Reference:Luftwaffe Crash Archive, volume 2, page 167.

The four crew members are shown as : 'CC 9/49'. This is a reference to their re-burial at the Cannock Chase cemetery, and the fact that all four were buried in a single grave. I believe that would indicate that all the remains that were found of the four could fit into a single coffin.

Whether all four are in there, I cannot say from the reference. All that is said is 'Shot down by fighters and crashed in flames. The aircraft burnt out below the high tide mark of the beach'.
