Re: Dornier 17 U5+CM 4/KG2 22nd November 1940
4./KG2 Dornier Do17Z-1 (3272). Shot down by F/L R.M.B. Duke-Wooley, P/O G. Marsland, and P/O A.F. Eckford of No.253 Squadron during sortie to London and crashed on downland at Tarring Neville, north-east of South Heighton, near Newhaven, 12.20 p.m. FF Fw Wilhelm Pleitz, BO Uffz Karl Treffert, and BM Fw Gustav Otterbeck all killed, BF Uffz Gerhard Weinhold missing. Aircraft U5+CM 100% write-off.
The wreckage exploded soon after the crash and no trace of Gerhard Weinhold was ever found - he has no known grave.
