How to Trace a WW2 German Plane Crash?

Hello All,

An old chap who lives in my village in East Devon (south-west UK) was telling me a few months ago about a German bomber crash he remembers as a boy in WW2. I'd love to find out more about it, but my friend can't remember the exact year so I don't have very much to go on.

Is there any way of finding records of such events by a geographical search rather than by date or aircraft involved? It would be interesting to find out more about the plane, and possibly its crew.

(For info, the village is Colaton Raleigh, near Sidmouth, and the crash site was a ridge of land nearby called Muttersmoor.)

Thanks in advance,

John
