Do 217N-1 crashed near Edslev 5/5 1945.
The aircraft belonged to 5./ Aufklgr.Nacht and was coded K7+GN.
T/o Odense ? Op: Transfer to Norway.
It is believed that the Do 217 was en route from Odense to Norway when it was
heard to circle the area at a rather low altitude before it a hit a low hill 50 metres east of a farm belonging to farmer Arnold Jensen and disintegrated
killing the crew of four.
“Statens Civile Luftværn” was informed by telephone and in the morning a truck
from Fliegerplatz Ry arrived. They collected the death bodies and took them to
Ry where they were laid to rest in Gl. Ry cemetery on 7/5 1945.
They were transferred to Gedhus German cemetery in the sixties.
It should be remembered that the German capitulation in Holland, Northern
Germany and Denmark took place at 08:00 hrs on the morning of 5/5 1945.
