September 2015 Memorial to fallen German Aircrew of Junkers Ju88A-14 Werke/Nr 1444550

Memorial to fallen German Aircrew. The crash site was attended by the pilots Daughter and Grandson for the unveiling.

On a quiet Scottish hillside Irmtrud Hiestermann stood in wonder at the site before her, with her son Henning at her side at last she could stand at the place where the father she had never known, had tragically lost his life so many years ago.
At the time of her father Paul Rogge’s death, Irmtrud was just six months old. Personal items found at the crash site at this time, included a treasured photo of Irmtrud that Paul had carried with him, returned to the family by the Red Cross, this tragic artefact the only remaining token of her father’s love she would ever know.
