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

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