III/KG27 loss 29.3.40 Hannover area.

Hi could anybody help with the confirmation and loss details of the following.

29.3.40 III/KG27 reported the loss of one of its Heinkel 111 bombers at Hannover , possibly due to pilot error. 4 crew perished in the crash.
Could anybody help to identify the crew or identity of the a/c.
Best regs,
Steve.
