Ernst Müller first grave

During last war, the body of a airman was found on the coast close to the little chapel of St Samson, in Landunvez commune, 25 km north west of Brest, Brittany, France. The man who found him called some German soldiers, but none of them understood French. Then, the French man told them “Kamerad Kaputt”, and invited them to follow him down on the shore. This man was much probably an airman. He remembers his name, Ernst Müller. He was first buried close to the chapel, The first cross, in wood painted black was soon replaced by a Malta cross.
Maybe one year later, this grave was moved somewhere else, but I never found where.

By chance, last year, I was able to buy a picture of a cross. It would come from an album of pictures taken in August 1940 by a german “on holidays” in Brittany. Two other pictures proved he’s been at Porspoder, a nearest commune of Landunvez.
Unfortunately, even a high resolution scan can’t allow to read the date. But my witness did recognize the cross. The name does seem to be Ernst Müller.

I did find a Ernst Müller in the Lesneven cemetery, where most of the German soldiers who died in North West Brittany were buried. But this one was a jäger, killed on August 31, 1944.

I also was told a ME 110 could have sunk close to there, but can’t be sure there’s any relation with this supposed airman…
I would like to learn more about him, the date he was reported missing, his crew, …

Thank you for your help.
