Re: Luftwaffe casualties in Ireland 1940
Dennis,

This is where I am at present regarding this loss:

2./KG40 Focke-Wulf Fw200C-2 (0024). Crashed in the Irish Sea during weather reconnaissance sortie. FF1 Oberlt Theodor Schuldt (Staffelführer) and Reg. Rat. Meteorologe Dr Hans Sturm both killed, FF2 Fw Walter Berghaus, BF1 Fw Friedrich Gruber, BM Fw Friedrich Hoeger, and BF2 Gefr Walter Grässle all missing. Aircraft F8+OK 100% write-off.
The body of Theodor Schuldt was found on Aillebrack beach, near Ballyconneely, on November 12. Dr Hans Sturm was found washed ashore the same day on Dinish Island, near Lettermullen, County Galway.
