9/JG54 pilot mystery 15th August 1940
On the 15th August 1940 a Bf109E-4 of 9/JG54 crashed & burned out at Bullwood Farm Hartley near Cranbrook Kent, the pilot was killed. Both the Cranbrook ARP report book & the parish burial records give the pilot as Hermann Diekschen or Diekschoen. The records were subsequently changed to the name of Uffz. F. Niedermaier whose remains were exhumed in 1962 & moved to Cannock Chase.
Who was Hermann Diekschen or Diekschoen, was he a pilot with JG54 & why was Uffz. F. Niedermaier misidentified as Hermann Diekschen or Diekschoen? Many thanks for your help Trevor Matthews
