Re: He 111 crash of KG 4
Bugger,
This is 5J+DN of 5./KG4 down at Dardeweg near Zvenbergsche Hoek Holland on May 10, 1940. According to Peter Cornwell's TBoFrT&N the crew was: "Oberfw H. Ganss killed. Oberlt R. Ganzert, Oberfw E. Tischer, and Gefr H. Dertinger captured unhurt." Obviously the grave is that of Ofw Ganss. There are several photos known of this crash, which remained in situ for quite some time before being salvaged, and was photographed frequently by Dutch civilians.
Do you have more crash photos from the Western Campaign?
Regards,
