Re: He 111 crash landing In Luxembourg 1940
Hi John,
Not easy without more details.
In my database
- no mentioning of Mersch
- no mention of He111's coded +F
So that does not help.
I would expect that it is most likely an a/c of either KG1 or KG53 (assuming it was a regular bomber and Fernaufklärungsgruppe), being the units that overflew Luxembourg mostly during the first days of the campaign. But then I haven't found likely candidates yet.
E.g. Peter C lists a few He111 of 5./KG53 lost around noon on May 10 at unknown locations after interception over Thionville, but then the crews were taken prisoner. I would expect that around noon time on May 10 the Luxembourg City area was in German hands and no prisoners would be made. So that does not fit either.
All I can say for now.
Regards, Pieter
