Looking for photos & information on May 17, 1940 shoot down of 12.(St)/LG1 loss in Belgium
Hello,
According to the EoE Loss DB: "May 17, 1940: 12.(St)/LG1 Junkers Ju87B-1. Shot down by Hurricanes of No.17 Squadron south-west of Brussels during sortie to attack Ninove. Crashed and burned out near Tollembeek, 6 km north of Enghien, 5.15 p.m. Possibly that claimed by P/O Manger. FF Oberlt Hartmann Wendelin (Staffelkapitän) and BF Fw Alfred Fleisch both killed. Aircraft 100% write-off." Note: Luft Officers Career Summary says Hartmann was StaKap 11 St; Cornwell and Taghon both say 12 Staffel. Which is correct? Are there any local eye-witnesses to the loss of this Stuka, or contemporary photos of the crash site? Any post-war archaeology on this site? Regards,
