Seeking photos of crash of 3./KG3 Do17Z near RR Station at St-Dizier, France on 12.05.40
Hello,
I'm trying to locate any photos of the remains of the Do17Z, reported as 5K+EL, that crashed near the RR Station at St-Dizier, France, on May 12, 1940. Probably no more than wreckage. Does anyone have anything on this? Has anyone found photos of this crash at the local historical society newspaper, etc?
From the EoE LW loss DB:
"12 May 1940: 3./KG3 Dornier Do17Z. Hit by AA fire during attack on motorised columns between Stenay and Vouziers, then engaged by Moranes near Blesmes and starboard engine set alight in attacks by Capt Bouvarre, Sgt Bernadon, and Sgt Moulnes of GC III/7. Crashed in flames and exploded near the railway station at St-Dizier (France) 1.00 p.m. FF Lt Klaus Zehge killed, BO Lt Alfred Paleit (of Stab I./KG3), BF Obergefr Walter Schubert, and BM Gefr Kurt Jahraus baled out low and captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft 5K+EL 100% write-off."
Can anyone help?
Regards,
