Luftwaffe crashes near Leatherhead - Epsom in BoB
Its a bit of a long shot I know, to ask if anyone on this forum has actually plotted the site of each Luftwaffe plane that crashed in the Battle of Britain.
The reason I ask is that I have a bent and broken Iron Cross (1st or 2nd Class?) that was recovered from the wreck of a Luftwaffe aircraft in the Battle of Britain somewhere in the Leatherhead - Epsom area. Presumably the wearer died in the crash as it is broken and bent, which suggests the wearer hit the ground very hard - unless it by chance fell off just before he bailed out. So which Luftwaffe aircraft crashed in the Leatherhead - Epsom area where a crew member (or members) died and who were holders of this award, which might give me a name. The attached photo shows an identical medal but mine has no ribbon and looks like it has been hit by a hammer!
