Sorry no idea how to contact. You might try to expand your research into some of the German Luftwaffe WW2 groups .They also have a War Graves data base like our CWGC . Just Google and find what you can to make contacts that you think could help you. Good Luck.

Hi Carol

I wonder if someone from The Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge may be able to help you. They have a web site

There is contact address on the web site and a memorial to pilots. Maybe someone could give you some further info or 'point you in the right direction'

Not really. There are 6345 German war graves in the UK. Of these about 4914 were concentrated at Cannock. Most of these are in British Military cemeteries and war graves plots in churchyards etc. There's a whole variety of reasons why others were not moved.
