Re: Do-17 2.(F) A.Gr 123 crash may 11 1940 in Belgium

Hello,
this was OLtn.von Schaezler second mission that day. By the first in the early morning 3 Morane 406 attackt the Do 17P and with more then 150 Machinegun & Cannon hit they where able to came home! At the sencond they also meet Morane 406 (nine at all) and the Do 17P again was hit by more then 325 Hits in the wings and fuselage. BF Uffz. Klaas was wounded 3 time but was able to open returnfire until they crossed the own lines.
Sadly OLtn. von Schaezler and his crew was KIA in Do 17P 4U+GK on 10. June 1940 when they attack french troops at an low lewel bombing run!
