Re: He115s/Do18s 1939

The 3/506 He 115 crashed at 0330 hours 6 Dec 1939 in the breakers on Sheringham West Beach, Norfolk. A/c Werk-Nr. was 2081. Markings found on wreckage reported as "+ BB" although they should have been S4 + BL.
Crew:

Oblt z S Wolfgang Wodtke
Ofw Emil Rodel
Ofw Karl Ullmann

Wodtke and Ullman originally buried Sheringham; exhumed and transferred to Cannock Chase 22 Jan 1963. Rodel buried Gt Bircham, Norfolk, still there.

Cause of crash still obscure; Germans noted "Possible icing or thunderstorm".
