Crash KG 27 on a castle near Tours
Bonjour
I am looking for information on the accident of He-111 H2 + 1G AL, KG-27, October 23, 1940, near Tours (Sainte-Radegonde). This plane, piloted by Wolfgang Wilhelm fell on castle Chatenay. There were twelve deaths, not including the crew. Someone, here, at Tours, believe that the pilot deliberately crashed into the castle. This is absurd. I have many questions about this crash: are there investigations to know what's happening? I would also like to know if Wolfgang Wilhelm was indeed the pilot of the plane. In advance thank you Didier Lecoq |

In the barrack 12 soldiers was killed, and 12 soldiers woundes (from which 1 also died). Pictures you can find in book: KG 27, part 4, page 263-264. best wishes JoMe |
