[Peter Cornwell]

Dick,

Here is what I currently have on file:

4./KG26 Heinkel He111H-4 (3294). Shot down by own flak outside Amsterdam-Schiphol on return from night sortie and crashed into houses in the Henegouwshelaan, Nieuwer-Amstel, 11.50 p.m. HS Uffz Ludwig Kohlhepp and HS Obergefr Friedrich Gottschalk both killed, BO Oberlt Ehrenfried Bischoff and rest of crew believed unhurt. Aircraft 1H+BM 100% write-off.
A woman, five of her children, and two German soldiers were killed in this incident with three more civilians being badly burned. (He111 ‘3294’ also listed September 14 as 3./KG4 5J+BL ?)

Brian,

The information you want is available (in part) in BAMA file RM7/359.
