Hello to all!
I'm looking for info on two crashes of (probably) Bf110: 1. At DE PANNE (just on the French border in Belgium):during an airfight a german a.c. crashed on the end of the "Brouwerstreet" in front of some small fishermen houses which took fire. Some 20 people were killed. Plane burned out and crew was KIA. 2. At STEENKERKE a german a.c. crashed . 13 persons were killed among them some 6 or 7 Belgian soldiers from the " 2nd Jagers te paard ". Who knows more about these crashes? Thanks n advance for your kind help ! fredcompa |

May 27,1940 Luftwaffe plane at Steenkerke
Hi,
Found some additional information regarding the crash at Steenkerke. On 27/05/1940 a Luftwaffe plane crashed on the farm of Camiel Bulcke, situated close to the Korte-Wilde bridge at Steenkerke (near Veurne). The farm was completely destroyed and 9 civilians and 6 Belgian soldiers were killed. See a photograph of the destroyed farm and plane : http://www.westhoekverbeeldt.be/afbe...5-fb223e2271b0 Who can identify the plane ? Many thanks in advance and best regards Luc |

7./KG51 Heinkel He111H. Shot down by Defiants of No. 264 Squadron during attack on Dunkirk and crashed at Steenkerke 12.30 p.m. Probably that claimed by F/L Cooke & Cpl Lippett, P/O Welch & LAC Hayden, and P/O Whitley & LAC Turner. FF Lt Rudolf Gild, BM Fw Alfred Göttlicher, BF Uffz Heinz Kannewurf, and BS Gefr Paul Bartelt all killed, BO Gefr Alfred Kassegger missing. Aircraft 100% write-off.
This aircraft crashed onto the farmhouse of Bulcke Lodijk killing all occupants including six Belgian soldiers of 2° Jagers Te Paard. Heinz Kannewurf rests among the ‘Unknown’ buried at Lommel. |
