He111 loss – May 9, 1940 - France
Hello,
I am looking for more information regarding the following crew: Lt. Oswald, Ofw. Kuhhorn, Uffz. Stratmann, Uffz. Bauer. I have a document from the French archives (SHD-Air, Paris) which indicates that this He111 aircrew would have been made POW at Avord, France on May 9, 1940 (No other precision). I have also another French source which indicates that a German bomber has made a belly landing this same day, close to a village in the surroundings of the Air Base and that farmers of this village arrested an aircrew of four men. Later these farmers were congratulated for this act by General Michelin ordering this area. Is it possible to know if a He111 was lost in the Avord area this day there? I thought to a plane belonging perhaps to a reconnaissance Unit... According to my research no French Fighter Group claimed an enemy A/C in this area the 9th of May. Best regards, Frederic
