Re: Luftwaffe crash, 18th of May 1940, Belgium
Hello Peter Cornwell and Peter T,
Many many thanks for the information and the reminiscenses of Kurt Leythäuser!
The Heinkel-111 crashed indeed at the hamlet of Vrebos and more specifically at the southern edge of a small wood named "Kinderenbos". I assume this is the wood the airmen were hidding in.
The list of German soldiers buried at Leuven (Louvain) also mentions the name of Oscar Notzelmann assigned with M.K.G. 4 and died the 18th of May 1940. (I have no idea what the M stands for). Any additional information such as the name of the observer would be most appreciated.
Best Regards,
Dirk
