Surrey Luftwaffe crashes
The attached insignia - were given to me many years ago by a family friend who said that they were taken from one of the crew of a German aircraft that crashed near Brockham, Surrey during the war.
To my knowledge there weren't any crashes in the village itself, the closest being :
Junkers Ju 88A-14 Wk Nr. 140099 which crashed at Blackbrook on 14/15th March 1944 - all crew killed in the crash.
Heinkel He 111H-2 Wk Nr. 2720 which crashed at Swires Farm on 30th August 1940
Junkers Ju 88A-1 Wk Nr. 8095 which crashed at Folly Farm on 27th September 1940
If possible, I would like to work out the identity of the most likley candidate among the various crew members that the insignia may have belonged to. I have crew names for each of the above aircraft courtesy of the excellant work of Aircrew Remembrance Society but I'm not sure that any of these men were of the correct rank - Flieger I believe. I am hoping that one of the Forum experts may be able help.
