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

Larry,

On the crash of Oblt von Minnigerode:
"was taken unhurt from the wreck by Dutch troops , who subsequently handed him over to the English , after which he spent the rest of the war in captivity in Canada".

On the crash of Oblt von Holtey:
I know there is a picture showing the black 14, but I haven't seen it. But this suggest the a/c came down in fairly good order, and that the pilot did not bail out and the a/c crashed into the ground. De Klomp was at the moment of the loss already in German hands.

Regards, Pieter
