Re: He 111 A1+HN from 5./KG 53
As Robert well knows (but is too polite to say) this is what I have on that particular incident:
5./KG53 Heinkel He111H. Shot down by Hurricanes of No.87 Squadron following attack on Romilly and believed belly-landed south of Bastogne. Possibly that claimed by P/O Saunders 12.00 p.m. BF Uffz Alfred Görtz captured unhurt. BO Fw Thomas Dietrich, FF Uffz Fritz Steinberg, BM Uffz Karl Beutel, and HS Gefr Otto Kielwein also captured unhurt – all later released. Aircraft A1+HN fired by crew 100% write-off.
