Do217-E4, 5377, U5+GR from 7./KG 2

Hi readers,

In the afternoon of January 4 1944 a Do217-E4 from Gilze-Rijen based 7.KG 2, 5377, U5+GR crashed near the tiny village Molenschot (west of Fliegerhorst Gilze-Rijen) in The Netherlands. a "Absturz infolge Feinbeschuss". The crew of four (Schäfer, Böttcher, Zange and Strenzke) were killed.

Anyone with more details? What is considered "Feinbeschuss" ? Is there more detailed information about the exact location?

The series of books, "Vijf jaar Luchtfront" about Gilze-Rijen during WW2 is not mentioning the accident.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Benno (from Molenschot)
