Do 217 in Greece
 

Here is a picture of a belly landed Do 217 i found also in the estate.
No unit markings are visible. The writing on the back of the photo is simply "Advance-road Greece"

Not a 217 but a 17Z. The fins appear to have the yellow Balkan Front markings, as presumably do the missing cowling panels.

Hi,

it`s 5K+GP (although I`m not sure about the last letter).

@ Graham Boak: Many thanks for your correction!
@ robert : WOW... How did you discovered this? I have enlarged the photo as far as i can and found nothing.....

Re: Do 217 in Greece
 

If this plane belonged to KG 3, than the last letter can be R, S or T, since the III. Gruppe only was praesent in Greece (05.1941)

Re: Do 217 in Greece
 

so it could be 5K+GT.
I have other 4 shots of these one.
