Melvin,

Interestingly, Willibald Amann is interred at the RN Cemetery, Portland, Dorset.
Born 26-9-1917, died 8-5-1941, it says here. Other websites say born in 1918.

Regards,

Leendert

Hi

You have probably seen this already, but in the Blitz Then & Now Vol 1, there is a section written by Robert Gotz who served with Willibald Amann where he talks about hearing of his loss.
