Luftwaffe twin-engined plane crashed in Italy on 9 July 1941

Hello,
I amlooking for information regarding a Luftwaffe twin-engined transport aircraft went down on 9 July 1941, at 5:00 PM hours, in the Apennines SW of Bologna, due to mechanical failure. It seems the plane took off from Muenchen to an airfield in Sicily. According to some eyewitnesses the French-made plane was largely constructed by plywood.

All the crew members died in the crash. They were: Uffz. Ernst Weber (b. 3 Apr. 1915) and Uffz. Werner Stohn (b. 10 May 1920).

Could someone help me to find more info about this plane?
Many thanks in advance.

Carlo
