He 177, 10.02.44
 
Gentlemen,
is there anything known about a belly landing of a He 177 due to mechanical failures on 10.02.44? Pilot was an Ofw. Herbert Wagner, the location was near Eich (20 km SW of Darmstadt). Looks like the a/c had the Stammkennzeichen VO+?? or VD+??.

Is there any unit mentioned in Griehl's book?

Best regards,
