Losses of KG 27 on the 14 of May 1940
 

Hello,

I'm looking for some information about the possible loss of 3 H-111 of
KG 27 in the area of Tirlemont (Belgium) on the 11 and 14 of May 1940.
I just have 2 names of crewmembers:
Fw Luetze (or Lotse) Wilhelm (WIA) and Ogefr Wolf G. (WIA)
Can somebody help me to complete this information?
Thanks,

Alexander

To save Peter Cornwell the task, from his book 'The Battle of France Then & Now':

2/KG 27 He 111 P 1G+EK 14 May 40. Shot down by 85 & 87 Sqns & crash-landed at Campagne du Tierse between Lamontzee & Ville en Hesbaye 0930 hrs. Fw R Kleff killed, Fw W Luetje & Ogefr G Wulf wounded. Lt J Mueller believed unwounded.

There was another 2 Staffel aircraft damaged that day plus a number from II & III/KG 27

Chris,

Thanks for the information.
'The Battle of France Then & Now' from Peter Cornwell is a must have reference book for me now.
