Heinkel III IG+HL. Crashed Eire 3.3.41

Gentlemen – I have some sketchy details which require corroboration/more detail. Maybe someone can help :


On 3rd March 1941 a Heinkel III from III/KG27 coded 1G+HL crashed in the Republic of Ireland (possibly following a daytime shipping strike in Irish sea area). My information is the surviving crewmembers were interned for the duration. The pilot’s name may have been Ofw Lorra. Can anyone confirm further details of the operation maybe inc names of other crew members, and if poss details of any casualties/fatalities. Where was the a/c operating from - Brest possibly ? Atb, Richard.
