He 59 loss on November 1940
 
I have various sources conflicting about the fate of the He 59 WNr 1844 of Seenotflugkommando 5.

The date of loss is given as 17 or 18 Nov 1940.

The cause is listed as 'enemy action', 'Flak' or 'German Flak'.

The loss location is listed as 'North Sea' or 'Aalborg/List'

I would like to know more about this loss. Thanks in advance

It was lost over the North Sea on the 17. november during a rescue mission. Cause is really not known. Last thing heard from the He 59 was: SOS we really need help. We are leaving the aircraft.
Crew was never found.
