Now I know that this is a very tall order but does anyone out there know or admit to being the surviving relatives of the following crew of 53 Squadron Blenheim IV L9329 shot down on 03 May 1940 and which impacted on the Hornisgrinde above the village of Sasbach near Baden-Baden?
40798 P/O John Leslie Gilbert BUTTERWORTH (Age 21 Son of Joseph Leonard and Cicely Ellen Butterworth, of Ewell, Surrey).
565936 Sgt (Obs) Maurice George Arthur PEARCE (Age 24 Son of Arthur and Florence Ellen Pearce of Botesdale, Suffolk; husband of Kathleen Marjorie Blackwell PEARCE. His brother Ronald William also died on service).
624992 AC2 Robert Arthur WOOD. (No other details).
German friends have erected a memorial to this crew on the mountain and have erected a memorial to the crew in the village churchyard where they were originally buried.
Please send me a PM.
