It would be far better if you either state both your requests in your heading instead of adding one which has nothing to do with the initial topic.
Also instead of saying you stumble upon something, it makes more sense, to me, that you say where you located the details.
It saves everyone time and effort to not go looking where you already have been.
The KG 26 aircraft you are after is listed by Alexander Steenbeck in his KG 26 book as follows
28.09.1940, He 111 H, WNr unknown, code unknown, at Le Bourget, returning from a combat mission crashed due to hitting the ground, aircraft DBF
Crew: FF Uffz Heinz Weihe, BO Ofw Heinrich Kirchner, BF Uffz Werner Seemann, BS Gefr Siegfried Friesser.
He also lists one aircraft WNr 5621 1H+EP (or +ET) which crashed the same day, unknown place and with an unknown crew, four killed.
Could have been from either II. or III./KG 26
It is easy to perhaps jump to conclusion that this was the ID of said aircraft.
