crash Henschel Hs 126, may 11th 1940 Belgium
 

Hi,
I'm searching for a crashlocation : Henschel Hs 126 on 13th may 1940.
A source says 10km south of Turnhout-Belgium.
Geel, Kasterlee, Retie and Mol is possible...

regards,
Wim

Hs126 C2+KK of 2.(H)/41, crew Uffz F. Schellack and Uffz W. Merzenich captured unhurt. Location given indeed as 10km south of Turnhout, but not more accurate than that.

Cheers, Pieter

Which date does this question relate to please? I have the 13 May 1940 loss by 2.(H)/41 listed as follows:

2.(H)/41 Henschel Hs126 B-1. Oil pump damaged by Belgian ground fire during reconnaissance of roads and forced-landed near the cemetery at Geel-Larum, 10 km south of Tourhout 11.45 a.m. FF Uffz Fritz Schellack and BO Uffz Walter Merzenich both captured unhurt. Aircraft C2+KK 100% write-off.
This crew resisted capture and were only taken prisoner after an exchange of fire with Belgian troops.
