Hello fellow forum members,
Does anyone have any burial/grave details for two Luftwaffe airmen who were killed when their Ju 88 crashed on British soil during the afternoon of the 1st April 1941. I have searched all our Aircrew Remembrance Society burial details and the German War Graves website and can find nothing!
The two airmen in question are; Pilot Lt Paul Meyer aged 21 and his gunner, Uffz Hermann Riechmann aged 20. Their aircraft was shot down by two Hurricanes of No.242 Sqdn and crashed 3 miles E of Beccles, Suffolk.
They were flying a Ju 88A-5 Wnr.0614 (3Z + LN) and their unit was 5./KG77.
Can anyone help us please?
Regards,
Melvin Brownless
