Hello ,
I am looking for some information about the crashlanding of a large German airplane which crashlanded in the village of
Drieslinter (region of St-Trond Belgium).
According to a whitness, it happened in the 'winter 1942/1943 or 1943/1944. Several crewmembers were wounded and the leg of one of them had to be amputated at the crashplace: this crewmember was stuck in the wreck and the mayor of the village (Van Nieuwenhuyzen Jozef) helped him out of the plane. No one was killed.
I am well aware that is is not easy tot resolve my request, but it is the only information that I have.
I've noticed an earlier post on 12 O'clock, about a HE 177 A-3 which got shot down on 25/2/1944:

Does somebody has more information about the crashsite of this HE177 or was there another German warplane that crashed in the same village?
Many thanks and best regards to all
