Re: Seeking ID and location of He111 reported FL at "St. Erne" during the WC/FC.
Hello,
Got it; this is a case where the seller caption was grossly misleading. We already have something like seven photos of this crash, but just didn't recognize it and mislead by the caption.
According to the revised EoE Luft Loss DB: 10 May 1940: "5./KG4 Heinkel He111P-2. Shot down by Fokker G1 of 3-II-1 (1e Lt Kuipers & Sgt Venema) and belly-landed at Rosmalen, north of 's-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands), 4.15 a.m. BF Uffz Hans Zitzmann captured badly wounded in both arms and left leg, treated at Missiehaus Paters van Nuland. FF Uffz Gotthard Klenk, BM Uffz Willi Wiebke, and BO Gefr Rudolf Schlegel captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft 5J+JN 100% write-off."
Thanx for everyone's efforts.
Regards,
Larry Hickey
EoE Project Coordinator
