could you help me?

My name is Everard Bakker and I am from Holland.
In 2001 a workmate of me, asked me to visit his uncle.
This veteran is Leendert Jonker. He is a member of the Ducht Royal Marines during world war II. And this veteran served in WW II, within the 320 squadron RAF as a airgunner.

(He now lives in the house of Dutch veterans in Arnhem Holland. See www.bronbeek.nl )

On the night of 9-8-1942 he had a fight with a German plane, above Selsey Bill. This German plane was crashed.

I am looking for information about the HE 111 H-6 (7492) from the 7/ KG 53.
This plane is shot down on the evening of 9th August 1942 and crashed in the city of Worthing.

I am looking for information about this plane. I have red that this plane was a tugger for a glider.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any evidence about this glider. Where has the glider been? Was it a peace of a German attack?

Five Germans were killed.
The names are;

Uffz. H. Grosse-Heitmeyer
Gefr. Grussner, G.
Obergefr. Richter, J.
Obergefr. Dolejal, F
Uffz Kielmann, A.

Michael, could you help me?

Yours Sincereley,

Everard Bakker
