Lanaken, Belgium, 10.5.1940
Hello everyone,
Looking for unit and crews of the four Ju 87's that bombed and destroyed the Belgian headquarters building in Lanaken, Belgium. This occurred early morning of May 10th, 1940, in conjunction with German paratroops' seizure of Fort Eben Emael and key bridges over the Albert Canal - and to prevent the Belgian Army from sending orders for the demolition of these bridges. Commandante Henri Giddeloo and twenty soldiers were killed in the attack, which succeeded in preventing two of the three key bridges from being destroyed. Thanks in advance if anyone has the unit, crew names! markr
