ah your wrong - the CE is the second part of the code it shows the squadron and number of the plane in the squadron.
For example 2Z + CV

2Z ist the group = Nachtjagdgeschwader 6

C = individual aircraft letter

V = number of the Staffel/Gruppe

in this case a Bf 110 G-4 of 11./NJG 6

so he was in Belgium - I think its a Bf 110 G-4 from a german nightfighter group - a lot of them downed during December 1944/ Januar 1945 during the Battle of the Bulge, maybe also a plane downed earlyer.

its just n´suggestion, it look likes the plane crashed or bellied in this wooded area - but without serial or date its not possible to got a clear identification - I had all (most of them) nightfighter losses and my database had more then 100 000 german losses the second letter CE will find thousand times.
