Seeking photo sources for three II./LG1 Crashing in Belgium on May 14, 1940

Hello,

On May 14th, three II./LG1 He111s were shot down in Belgium, crashing respectively at Wetteren (a Stab a/c L1+UC force-landed), Boom (another stab a/c which hit the brickworks and ended up relatively intact). and L1+FN, which crashed in Saintes (17 Rue Anne-Croix) and was destroyed. This last one was the subject of an archaeological excavation in 1997.

I'm looking for any contemporary photos of these aircraft, crash sites or aircrew, and any eye-witness accounts of what happened at these locations. I'm aware of what Peter Taghon has published in his LG1 book, and what Gillet has published in his British Victories, Vol I, and have the photos that accompany these sources. Is there anything else our there that I haven't seen or don't have?

Thanx,
