Monte Amiata, Italy
 

During the II WW Monte Amiata, south Tuscany, was hit several time by allied bombers, and many airplanes belly landed or crashed there. Is there any book or witness about these casualities? Few days ago I was able to find a crash site of a german airplane, here two parts of the many I was able to collect

Thank you for explaining the code. I'll go back soon to look for more info and parts and I hope to get info on this wreck...and of another german bomber not far...
Do you have any idea where there is the chance to find out casualities in this area?

Is possible to confirm this event?
Thanks in advance
