Crew details for 4/KG40 loss - 21.05.1941
Hi,

In The Blitz Volume 3 Ken Wakefield lists the loss of a 4/KG40 Heinkel over the North Sea on the 21st May 1941. Can anyone provide details over the names and fate of this crew?

Thanks

Rick

F8+GM flew in to a mountain at the east coast of Iceland in bad weather.

Johann is of course correct. Although the QMG's returns said Nordsee, all 4 are buried at Fossvogur Cemetery, Reykjavik
