Re: Forced landing ( May 1940) of a German warplane in DENDERHOUTEM (BELGIUM)

Hi roodkapje,

I think it might be this one (from Peter Cornwell The Battle of France Then and Now):

May 14: 3.(F)/122 Junkers Ju88A-1. Port engine damaged in attacks by S/L Parnall, F/O Royce, and P/O van Mentz of No. 504 Squadron during reconnaissance of airfields along north French coast and belly-landed at Aalst 6.15 a.m. BM Uffz Willi Reissmarm killed. BO Fw Friedrich Küttner, BF Fw Eugen Lauterbach, and FF Uffz Erwin Maxrath captured unhurt. Aircraft F6+BL a write-off.

(The green entries are my additions/modifications).
This is the only one I have in this area until May 20, but without other sources no 100% certainty. Furthermore be aware that the pilots reported that this a/c was shot down near the Albertkanaal, which is quite a different location then Aalst.


Regards, Pieter
