Gotha Crashes in Holland Aug/Sept. 1917
Seeking information on these losses did two Gothas come down on the 18th August in Holland ( 1055/16 & 1059/16) and two more on the 28th Sept. (668/16 & 602/16) and are crew details known. Some reports give Lt.d.R Martin Emmler as being on one of these aircraft and others say his body was washed ashore from a Gotha that came down in the North Sea. According to a site about the Vollenhove Cemetry Martin Emmler, Heinz Schreiber and Emil Haes (Haas) are buried there from Gotha GIV 1065/16 lost in the Zuiderzee on 29th Sept.1917 (28/29th raid) One list shows Oblt.Rudolf Bauerle interned on both the 18th.Aug and 28th Sept. incidents. Any help on this and clarification greatly appreciated,
Regards
Brian Bines
