Hello,

As a part of the EoE project effort to document all of the losses on both sides during the Phoney War, I'm seeking info on the following a/c, attacked over Belgium but making it back across the frontier before it crashed.

"22 November 1939: 3.(F)/121 Heinkel He111H-2. Badly damaged in attack by Sgt R. Delarue of GC III/7 during factory test flight over the frontier. Chase abandoned over Belgium but finally crashed at Dielkirchen, south of Bad Kreuznach, 9.45 a.m. FF Oberfw Helmuth Gräber, BF Gefr Armin May, BM Oberprüfer Otto Schulz, and Fähnrich Johannes Schulz all killed. (None found in VDK) Aircraft 100% write-off. (Koluft via RS)"

Have any photos survived of this a/c crash, including in any local historical records from the area? Does anyone have any information on a/c codes or W.Nr.?

Regards,
