Emergency landing seaplane 5/12/1943 at Wuustwezel
Hi,
In “ Wuustwezel en Loenhout in de Tweede Wereldoolog “ (Wuustwezel and Loenhout during World War II) by Guido van Wassenhoven (published in 1985) is mentioned that on 5/12/1943 a German twin-engined seaplane made an emergency landing in a meadow at Wuustwezel,Belgium (near Molenbergen). The crew was unharmed and the plane was collected by the Germans a few days later. Was this a He115 ? Any information regarding the unit and crew available ? Many thanks and best regards, Luc |

Is the date day-month-year or month-day-year? As posted your inquiry could be interpreted as May-12-43 or 5-Dec-43. Not meant to criticize, just as a comment for clarity.

Hi,
Could this have been a He115 of Flieger-Ergänzungsgruppe (See) ? Was this unit active over Western Europe ? Many thanks and best regards Luc |

I have nothing as far as recorded losses are concerned - if less that 10% damaged it probably was not recorded.
