Not injured so no names. If it was 7/KG 3, the code should be 5K+?R

Thanks Chris, I will check again the code !

Matti,

I have two photos of the rear fuselage of a crashed and burned out Do17 with the codes 5K+KL. However, the fuselage cross is in the 1939-style, leading me to believe that this is a possible Polish Campaign crash. Are there known photos of your Brussels crash, and a date for it?

Regards,

Larry
