eBay Bf110 S2+EC crash?
 
At eBay here is a crashed Bf110 marked S2+EC, which should therefore be of Stab.II/StG 77. The seller appears to suggest the location as Poland, although the photo appears later. I have seen this photo before, so hopefully it is known...are there any other details on this?

cheers

Ian,

This has a white theater band, so is definitely Russia or east. I agree with your unit ID.

Larry,

white fuselage band and Eastern front, not Mediterranean theater?
I am slightly irritated.

Comparing with the white in the Balkenkreuz as seen on the fuselage the darker tone of the fuselage band, tells me it was a yellow band and not white.

Ian,

There is indeed one loss report in the GQM list for Stab II./StG 77: on 20.Jul.1941 the Bf 110E-2 WNr. 3764 was lost due to enemy action in the Kiew area. Both the pilot Oblt. Bode and the radio operator Gefr. Gniewetta were killed.

The loss of WNr. 3764 was also recorded as 100% with the SKZ 'KC+YR' (KE+YR?). The loss depicted in the photo is unlikely to be the same machine.
