He 111 crashed at Nivelles on 10/5/40

I am searching info concerning the unit and the crew of a He 111 which crashed on 10/5/40 at Nivelles near the chaussée de Charleroi at about 15.30 h. The aircraft was low (apparently already hit) and overflew the French troops when a motorcyclist opened fire with his machine-gun. Hit in the rudder the aircraft belly landed not far from... a 14-18 memorial. The crew members were safe and taken prisoner by the French troops.

Rgds and Happy New Year to all !
