Needing information/photos of crash of 2 Bf109Es in the Netherlands on May 11, 1940.

Hello,

I'm seeking information, and particularly crash photos of two Bf109Es that came down in the Netherlands on May 11, 1940.

1) 2./JG20 Bf109E-4 Shot down by AA fire over the Waal area and crashed at Amerongern north of Tiel. Oblt. von Minnigerode (StaKap) POW. Did he bail out or ride the plane down to a forced landing?

2) 5./JG26 Bf109E Shot down by AA South of the Ijsselmeer and crashed near De Klomp. Oblt. Fr von Holtey (StaKap) POW - WIA. Plane is recorded as being "Black 14." Again, did he bail out or did he FL the plane?

Please don't refer me to entries in Peter Cornwell's book on the WC or Dr. Prien's books. I already have their info.

Regards,
