Re: 4./KG 53 loss
Thank you Steve, your post saved some searching. I have this loss as occuring on the 7 June 1940 - no casualties involved. Uffz Rudolf FRANKE returned to duty with 4./KG53 only to be shot down on 12 July by P/O Bickerdike of No.85 Sqdn. during an attack on a convoy east of Aldeburgh. His body was washed ashore on the Dutch coast near Castricum on 29 July & he was buried at Bergen(NH) & later reinterred (1957) in IJsselsteijn CL-1-5.
