Do 215 damaged by GC I/5 on 01 April 1940

Good afternoon to all.

On the 01st April 1940, a Dornier Do 215 from the 3./Aufkl.Gr.Ob.d.L. was probably damaged by French fighters of GC I/5 near Longwy. Oberleutnant Erich Marquardt (guess a pilot) was WIA.

I would like to know the werknummer of this Do 215 and the other crewmembers, if available.

Any additional information on MARQUARDT most welcomed. I have only had access to the LW Officers List published by Zenke and all.

Oblt. Erich Marquardt - observer
Obgefr. Rudi Fritsche - radio operator
Obgefr. Karl Wehrhan - flight engineer
Fw. Rudolf Puls - pilot

Neither W.Nr. nor the Vkz. of the aircraft is known. A photo of the crew and some additional details of the event can be found on page 102 in the new Do 215 book from Crécy/Classic.
