Re: 2. (F) / 123 Do17Z, May 12,1940,Belgium.
This is what I have:
May 11, 1940:
Do-17P 4U+HK of 2.(F)/123 landed at SCHINNEN (gehucht ‘t ROOTH, Limburg, NL).
Lt Heinz BROSCH, Fw Hermann LAYHER en Fw STEINER wounded.
Probably shot down by Moranes of GC II/2 during a morning patrol.
Do-17P 4U+?K of 2.(F)/123 landed at BEEK (Krawinkel, Limburg, NL)
Pilot probably Olt Hans Weicksel.
The crew name is not 100%, since the name of Oblt Weicksel is mentioned for all kind of different losses and locations.
2.(F)/123 reports that a crew (Oblt Dietrich von Scheffler, Obfw Felgenhauer, Uffz Wili Klaas) was heavily attacked over Bruxelles-Namur, but although seriously hit by up to 150 bullets, the machine did not crash and came back to base.
Any further details would be welcome!
Pieter
