10/05/1940 He111 KG54 St Kpt Fritz Stadelmeyer

[Luc Vervoort]

Hi !

Hptm Fritz Stadelmeyer is often given as crashed with his He111 on 10/05/1940 near Courtrai (Kortrijk), Belgium.
But a crewmember (A.Hueckelmann) , who got killed during the crash, is reported to have been first buried at Brugge, which is more than 40 km (approx 25 m) from Kortrijk.
Is the crashlocation ,Courtrai, not correct ?

Best regards

Luc
