Losses of KG 27 on the 14 of May 1940
Hello,
I'm looking for some information about the possible loss of 3 H-111 of KG 27 in the area of Tirlemont (Belgium) on the 11 and 14 of May 1940. I just have 2 names of crewmembers: Fw Luetze (or Lotse) Wilhelm (WIA) and Ogefr Wolf G. (WIA) Can somebody help me to complete this information? Thanks, Alexander |
