Many thanks TigerTimon and Rottler I think that this information has helped me identify a German airman who was washed up on Horsey Beach in Norfolk in October 1940 and buried in the local churchyard his name was Georg Hofmann and he is now buried at Cannock Chase Cemetery. There was talk by local people of another German airman being washed up at the same time but I have not been unable to find anything about him as to were he was buried. It could have been Ofw Weise but I have no details of what happened to his body.

Once again thank you both very much

Regards
Will
