Re: Do 17 ??+UK crashed near Gedinne (B)
Hello,
Just to let you know, Peter Cornwell has now re-assessed this for the EoE Luft Loss DB as:
"15 May 1940: 2./KG2 Dornier Do17Z (2526). Port engine set alight in attacks by No. 3 Squadron Hurricanes between Sedan and Dinant during sortie to attack rail targets between Challerange and Ste-Menehould 11.00 a.m. Crash-landed in forest near Willerzie, three miles west of Gedinne. Possibly that claimed by P/O Gardner. BO Uffz Hans Tanzberger and BM Fw Heinrich Schreyer both captured wounded, FF Uffz Vinzenz Gießübel and BF Uffz Kurt Gerlach both captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft U5+DK 100% write-off."
Regards,
Larry Hickey
