Battle of Britian Grave info?

[ned kelly]

Hi Guys
I am interested to know if there is a website or place that has listed the Luftwaffe grave names on English soil during WW2?
I am trying to find out if a Franz Henkel from 1./Kampf Geschwader 26 was killed during the Battle of Britian?
Any help would be GREAT,
Thanks
Glenn.

Hi Ned
You can use the Volksbund search engine to look up names. If Franz is listed you'll find out when he died and where he's buried.

Volksbund database


Hope this helps

I have made the research in the volksbund archive for you, but there is no Franz Henkel buried that can interest you....
Sorry....

I'm back with my books now so i checked the casualty roll for KG26 in "Achtung-Torpedo los!" the unit's history.

Feldwebel Franz Henkel along with his crew mates, Oberfeldwebel Otto Poser, Feldwebel Heinz-Heinrich Hatlapa and Unteroffizier Bernhard Schulte are listed as 'lost-captured' on the 3 June 1940 off the coast of North Norway near Narvik. None of the 4 men are listed as dead in the volksbund database.


Hope this helps
