He 111 WNr 5696 of II./KG 53, 20 April 1941
On the night of 19-20 April 1941, accoridng to the book "The turning point, part 2", the He 111-H4 WNr 5696 of II./KG 53 crashed near Brugge, Belgium. Lt W Brönisch and two crew died, one was injured.
Volksbund had a Lt Wilfried Bönisch who died on 20 April 1941 and is buried in Lommel in Belgium.
The Kracker database shows Lt Wilfried Bönisch belonged to 5./KG 53 and was killed on 22 April 1941 (sic) when He 111 WNr 5696 crashed at Oedelem (some km SE of Brugge).
I am interested in the whole crew list for this bomber.
Can someone also confirm the loss date (hour will be fine), the Staffel (5./KG 53?) and the crash location (Oedelem?) ?
Thanks in advance
