Re: Do-17 crashlanding in Belgium
This incident was on 26 August as follows:
2./KG3 Dornier Do17Z-2 (2541). Lost bearings on return from night attack on Hull and crashed attempting forced-landing near Tirlemont when out of fuel. BO Gefr Hermann Krause killed, FF Lt Johann Wiesniewski and BS Obergefr Adolf Liedig both suffered slight facial injuries - admitted to hospital in Leuven, Bordmechanic unhurt. Aircraft 80% damaged - write-off. |

Sorry Peter, my old eyes and too fast fingers make obviusly too much trouble. I don't have the EKM any more, only a note, that my info came from the NVM. Of course I will make a correction to my database and try to prevent future errors. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
Regards, Matti |

Re: Do-17 crashlanding in Belgium
It's interesting to note that both the Bo & Bs were also Schuler per the NVM Peter posted.

If I understand right, they were not Schulers but Bombenschütze and Bordschütze.

Re: Do-17 crashlanding in Belgium
Except that Gefr. Krause is both reported as Bo-Sch. Thats not a typical designation. Beobachter-Schulen or Beobachter-Schutzen? The Bord-Sch would be Bordschutzen I guess. Is there a definitive explanation for these designations?
