Looking for source for color photo of probable Stab III./KG51 He111 crash, probably May, 1940

Hello,

On the WWII in Color Website, there is a posting for this photo:

http://www.ww2incolor.com/german-air-force/aoz.jpg.html

This shows the rear fuselage of a He111 coded 9K+CD, which may be this a/c: "May 19, 1940: Aufklärungsschwarm III./KG51 Heinkel He111H. Badly damaged in fighter attack during reconnaissance sortie to Vitry-le-François and believed crashed near Seilles, east of Namur. Possibly that attacked S/Lt Marchelidon of GC I/2 1.45 p.m. Pilot believed unhurt, BO Uffz Freidrich Weidenbach slightly wounded, BF Uffz Ernst de Mas, BM Uffz Walter Heil, and BS Gefr Edmund Baake all killed. Aircraft 100% write-off."

I've got three other B & W photos of this crash. Is anyone familiar with this crash, which may be near Seilles, E of Namur, France?

I'm also trying to locate the original source for this color photo from which this web image was taken. Anybody familiar with this one?

Regards,
