II/KG4 loss 13 May 1940
Does anyone have additional information regarding the II/KG4 loss of Oblt. Erich Freiherr von Werthern on 13 May 1940 , (GCiG recip. and kia Russia feb. 1942) ?
Werthern was shot down and was the only survivor , his crew ( W. Peil - R. Winkelmann - E. Schacht ) all kia . His Plane , a He 111 (stab II./KG4) crashed at St. Leonard ( Brecht ) North of Antwerp . According to Brian Cull's "Twelve Days in May", II./KG4 was attacked near Lille ( North of France) by 85 Squadron Hurricanes and Moranes of GCI/4 , both claimed Heinkels . Don't know if any additional sources in French shed more light. Regards Jeremy
