He 111 losses on 22 July 1941
 

Hi guys,

I read an account of 4 aircraft making emergency landing that resulted in their being written off on 22 July 1941. Supposedly they were all He 111 with the work numbers 4010, 4177, 4254 and 5672. Can anyone shed further light on this ? Were they all from KG 53 ? Or other units ( KG 26. KG 28, KG 55, Kgr. 100)

Thanks in advance
