Re: Civil Airliner losses Battle of France

I don't think the two sets of photos show the same aircraft. Your second set of two DC-3 shows basically an intact aircraft captured by the Germans. There are no trace of any AA-fire as far as I can see.
There is another photo from e-bay of this aircraft which I have attached (hopefully) which clearly shows it with German troops.

So unless we surmise that this aircraft somehow escaped after a number of photos had been taken of it and later was shot down by AA-fire, I would say we are looking at two different aircraft.

Cheers
Stig
