Thanks Andy, great map! and found it!
The crash site could be identified with the 1:300.00 map and zooming into another available online 1:100.000 map from 1943, revealed that my first anticipated crash site is not correct. The road did not exist then. If of interest, I can post the exact crash location 5 km further to the west.

Never say never.....
I found some images of Gert Blume here in the web. The images correspond with the picture my mother had always with her....

Afterburner:

Does anybody have the crash site's recorded Lw Planquadrat/ map reference/ grid square in his files? WAST?

Who knows the name of the air force base, Gerd Blume and his crew flew off for their final flight?
