Hello Larry,
your a/c was the Do17M-1, Z5 + BH, from Aufklärungsstaffel des Gen.Kdo. 1 Flakkorps. It was shot down in the morning of 20 May 1940 near Reims from French AA guns. The pilot was Ufzz. Edgar Berthold (likely injured because it were 1 1/2 months to his next flight). Take off was in Ochamps (Belgium) at 9.30 am.
Best regards
Rasmussen
