History of 1940 Fighter Pilot - Oblt. Gunther Schulze-Blanck

Hi,

Below is the grave of Oblt. Gunther Schulze-Blanck Staffelkapitän of 4./JG 53 who died in an air battle on 9.9.1940. The information with the photo said he died over Hastings in England but was buried in france on the 29.09.1940. Could that be true?
