ID of crew in field grave 1940 WC?

Hello,

Does anyone have any information that would help ID this wrecksite and field grave, probably from the Western Campaign of May-June, 1940.

Any help with this one would be appreciated. Perhaps there have been other photos of this grave on eBay?

Thanx,

Don Pearson

The date on the right looks like "5.9.40"?

Would there be a field burial in September?

I would have thought in an occupied country in September, the bodies would have been recovered and buried formerly.

I have only seen these field burials during operations or advance/retreats - mainly in WC and also North Africa.

Besides that, can't help.

Metal prop - DB601? - 2/3 crew - Bf110?

Mark
