Does anybody have information on the following crash?

1941-sept-20, Do217E-2, 5./KG 2, Spijkenisse

Who was the crew and what happened to them? I have not found German casualties linked to this crash that day. I think at the time the 5./KG2 was stationed at Evreux so what were they doing over Holland and what was the reason of the crash?

Verliesregister 1939-1945 only gives:
41-09-20 22.20 Spijkenisse (Maasbruggen) Do.217E-2 Wknr 5310 5./KG2.

In the attachments you will find more information about this crash and the operation from Balke part II.
You will also see that Balke has mixed-up Rotterdam-Waalhaven and Amsterdam-Schiphol.
