Melvin,

The town mentioned is Kapelle a few KM's East of the city of GOES (Zuid Beveland, province of Zeeland NL)
The crash description even has a few pictures of the crash damage.

Hi Rick,

Many thanks for your offer but I already have a copy of Eberl's death card and photo of Weiss who was also killed. However if you have any other UK casualties we would be honoured to include some in our Luftwaffe remembrance pages.

Kind regards,

Melvin
