Searching details on He 111 collision on 5 November 1941

[Laurent Rizzotti]

On 5 November 1941 two He 111 H of IV./KG 26 were lost in a collision, probably during a training flight over North Germany or the Baltic Sea.

I have no other details, except the names of the pilot, both killed: Uffz. Ulrich Bierkandt and Gfr. Hans Huiskens.

I would like to have details of these losses.

Thanks in advance

Thanks, I think too these are the crews I was searching. Apparently the German archives don't list collision as the cause of loss, so I will list them as "probable collision".
