Re: Attack on Eindhoven airfield, 9/10 September 1940
The Germans could not mention the type, because there was no attack of the RAF.
The fire at the airfield was caused by a returning He 111 of II./KG 4 which has thrown a bomb
at it's own airfield and not at the 'Notabwurfplatz' near Oirschot.
After it has dropped the bomb(s) it flew against a train in the approach to the airfield.
Three of the four crewmembers were killed in the crash.
