Re: photographs of crashed Do17 U5+DA on ebay.

Thanks Larry for your statement. I was not aware that only nose band was the unit insignia. So thank you for the clarification.
I've looked on a map. If the caption is right, there are two crash sites in Saargebiet:

1940-05-09, Stabsst./KG 2, Do 17Z, Bei Homburg/Saar, Notlandung infolge Beschuß durch feindliche Jäger. Bruch 80 % (So my line of thought about the damage was totally wrong. )

and

1940-05-18, Stabsst./KG 2, Do 17Z, Bei Rehlingen, Notlandung infolge Motorschaden. Bruch 40 %.

I also searched for churches in the area. I found this in Rehlingen: http://www.gastgeber-eifel.de/bildan...0Siersburg.jpg It looks similar, but difficult to say if this is it.

Kind regards,
Bf 110
