HE 111 Loss 3/KG53 27.4.40?

Hi, can anybody confirm the forced landing of an Heinkel111 3/KG53 A1+JL
nr Roth 27.4.40. (see Ebay link below)

http://www.ebay.de/i...0-/270902158805

Any leads to this incident would be most appreciated, as it doesnt appear in Peter Cornwells " Battle of France Then And Now" losses for this date.

Best regs,
Steve.

It was damaged in 60% due to engine failure.

Steve,

Not featured in BoFrT&N as not a 'Battle of France' loss. Details as shown:

3./KG53 Heinkel He111H. Crashed on take-off at Roth due to port engine failure. FF Lt Siegfried Günther, BO Uffz Josef Neu, and BS Uffz Josef Fischer all slightly injured, Bordfunker unhurt. Aircraft A1+JL 60% damaged but repairable.
