The Aviation Safety Network website lists an He 111P crash in Belgium on May 27, 1940, but the crewmembers for this mission included Alfred Kassegger, Paul Bartelt, Rudolf Gild, Alfred Göttlicher, and Heinz Kannewurf rather than the crew you list. It's possible that the crew listed by you piloted the He 111P involved in a crash-landing near Neufchateau, Belgium on May 10, 1940.
