Re: 10/05/1940 He111 losses Peronnes-lez-Antoing (Belgium)
Luc, Peter,
the second plane that came down in Péronnes and Antoign was the He111 of 9./KG27 which crashed around the Rue des Venniaux on the eastern side of Péronnes-les-Antoign in the early morning. Although some sources also mention Lesdain, but this some 10 km more to the south of Péronnes-les-Antoign.
Of this crew only Uffz Wingerden survived by baling out. The other three (Fw Schmelz, Uffz Stramm and Uffz Leonhardt) all died in the crash and were burried in Antoign (info Mei 1940 boven België, Roba and De Decker).
This makes it more likely they indeed crashed in Péronnes-les-Antoign.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards, Pieter
