[Joe Potter]

On the 19.07.1943 the body of a Fw Richter was washed ashore near Sheerness on the north coast of Kent, are there any suggestions to his identity?
Thanks
Joe

Hi Joe,

There is a Fw. Hermann Richter a 'B' from Do217 M-1 U5+EL which may be linked to a claim off the Humber by S/L Lawrence with F/Sgt Wilmer of 410 Sqd. on the 13/14-7-43,

Brian,
Thanks, I'll need to find the NVM for this loss to get his age, it could prove relevant, the VDK do not have him listed as missing.
Cheers
Joe

I see there is a Richter- Airman-19-7-43 buried at Cannock,

Brian,
That's him, the VDK would like a positive ID,

Joe,

Other Richters - Bf Ofw Helmut Richter of 3/KG2 missing from an attack on London 3/4-3-43, his no. 58906/90 his dob is hard to read but could be 11-2-18 or possibly 1910?
Bm Uffz Alfred Richter of 6/KG2 missing off Sunderland 15/16-5-43
For elimination B Uffz. Fritz Richter of 3/KG2 in collision over Bristol Channel 17/18-5-44 now buried Greenbank Cemetery, Bristol.
I see the Fw Richter washed ashore at Sheerness on 19-7-43 was originally buried at Halfway House, Sheppey shame his first name is not recorded,

Joe another one - Ff Fw Herbert Richter of 1/KG2 missing from London raid on 3/4-3-43 his dob is 3-6-1917. Another researcher thought he may have been the Richter washed ashore on 19-7-43 but I do not know what evidence he may have had

John, thanks for the info. would you be able to confirm the dob of Bf Ofw Helmut Richter of 3/KG2 missing 3/4-3-43,
