Re: Luftwaffe crash, 18th of May 1940, Belgium
Oberfw Karl SCHORR (b.25.12.1913) was Bordmechanic aboard the He111 5J+HN flown by Hptmn Kurt LEYTHAESER (Staffelkapitan) of 5./KG4 that crashed 9 km west of Leuven, near Vrebos, on 18 May 1940. He was originally buried 200 metres east of the crash site. There is no doubt this was the aircraft reported down at Everberg that day. No trace of any Karl SCHON in the unit records so probably a transcription error.
