Thanks, the circle is getting closer as this does clarify the use of Chartham for BoB casualties and that it was close to Manston.
4 known dead on 21 August taken away and no further known of what became of them.
4 Unknown Germans were buried in Chartham cemetery in O74 on 22nd August
(and Chartham cemetery casualties in CWGC do show that Alfred Hoffman another Luftwaffe member was buried in Chartham on 15 September and later reburied in Cannock.)
Those buried in Cannock as Unknowns have a Date of Death as 22 August which was the date they were BURIED.
No other 4 Luftwaffe dead are unaccounted for on 21 or 22 August.
If the 4 in Chartham DIDN'T come from Hampshire, where then did they come from?
What else could have happened to the 4 from Hampshire?
