Re: crash Henschel Hs 126, may 11th 1940 Belgium
Which date does this question relate to please? I have the 13 May 1940 loss by 2.(H)/41 listed as follows:
2.(H)/41 Henschel Hs126 B-1. Oil pump damaged by Belgian ground fire during reconnaissance of roads and forced-landed near the cemetery at Geel-Larum, 10 km south of Tourhout 11.45 a.m. FF Uffz Fritz Schellack and BO Uffz Walter Merzenich both captured unhurt. Aircraft C2+KK 100% write-off.
This crew resisted capture and were only taken prisoner after an exchange of fire with Belgian troops.
