Bf 109 crash at Ladersleben, 4 February 1940

Hi,

I have found a note (without any source) that a Bf 109 E-1 WNr 3512 crashed on 4 February 1940 at Ladersleben, killing the (unknown to me) pilot.

Can anyone confirm the above ? I'm away from home and can't check Peter's BOF T&N.

Thanks in advance

Laurent

Thanks Rasmussen, I just reached the same conclusion on my own by checking the map west of Querfurt.
