Re: Loss details required: Lt. Voll 10.05.1940

Have never trusted location info of loss reports too much. The worst case was a crash in Finland, where report said "near Helsinki-Malmi airfield". In real life it was about 350 km from that.
Especially days like May 10, 1940 are a nightmare. I know wery well geography of Belgium/Luxemburg, but thought, that either my source (NVM) or Melvin's source can be in error. Uncommon names as Voll (4 in my databse) or Koll (6 in my database) are much easier to locate.
In Melvin's German handwriting I could read either Voll or Koll.
If Lt Voll will be found some day in some report, I would like to get the details for my database, too.

Matti
