Hi,

Can ayone provide information on the loss of Uffz Heirich Lang who was part of a transport crew who was killed over France on the 25th May 1940?

Written on the card in pencil is also a cross with the date 10.05.1940 so not sure if date on sterbebild is incorrect?

Many thanks

Rick

Uffz. Lang was in a Do-17 Z of 4./KG 76 that crashed from low altitude at/nr Vertain-Chapelle d'Aussy (target was Escarmain airfield), probably due to Erdbeschuss.
Pilot Ltn. Albert Daubner, Bf Uffz. August Flaig and Bs Gefr. Kurt Posnanski also killed.
Date 25 May 1940 correct.
