HE 111 Loss 3/KG53 27.4.40?

Hi, can anybody confirm the forced landing of an Heinkel111 3/KG53 A1+JL
nr Roth 27.4.40. (see Ebay link below)

http://www.ebay.de/i...0-/270902158805

Any leads to this incident would be most appreciated, as it doesnt appear in Peter Cornwells " Battle of France Then And Now" losses for this date.

Best regs,
Steve.

It was damaged in 60% due to engine failure.
