10.05.40 KG2 loss - crash in France (West of Metz)

Hello,

on the 10th of may 1940, bombers from 4./KG 2 attacked the airfield at Basse Yutz near Diedenhofen. French fighters attacked the formation.

A Dornier 17 is so heavily damaged that the crew decides to bail out. The parachute of Uffz. Struven gets caught by the antenna of the bomber and he goes down with the plane.

Can someone provide more details about the place of the crash ?

Many thanks. Regards.

Corsair
