4/KG40, 4th January 1943
On 4th January, 1943:
4/KG40.
Dornier Do217E (4381). Night sortie to England. Flew into hillside at 350ft and crashed into an empty bungalow at Furze Hill, Fairlight, East Sussex, 8.55pm.
Uffz. Kurt Tomczyk, killed
Gefr. Ernst Kern, killed
Gefr. Rolf Fischer, killed
Fw. Hartmut Eucker , killed (All 4 buried at Hawkinge Cemetery).
Aircraft F8+BM a write-off.
The only Furze Hill I can find is in Hove, so could this be Fire Hills in Fairlight? I'm assuming Tomczyk (FF), Kern (B), Fischer (Bf), Eucker (Bm) ?
Thank you
Steve
