Re: He-111 loss, 17 May 1940, KG "Hindenburg" 1
Jason,
I think this may be the one you are after:
6./KG1 Heinkel He111H. Both engines damaged in attacks by Capt Peyrègne and Cpl Sika of GC I/8 between Le Cateau and Trélon, and forced-landed at Marchavenne, east of Bohain-en-Vermandois, 6.00 p.m. BO Uffz Gerhard Aurich and BF Uffz Willi Frank captured badly wounded, BS Flgr Johann Güldens captured slightly wounded, rest of crew captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft 100% write-off.
Can you please advise your source for Fw Martin being its pilot ? Many thanks.
