ClinA-78 is on a distinguished road
loss near Dinant May 1940?

Hello,

Here are some pieces found on the crashsite of a supposed Luftwaffe bomber, presumed lost in May '40. The location is situated between Waut-le-Wastia and Sommière (5 km NW of Dinant). Any witness as the area was vacated during the hard ground battles fought during the Meuse crossing.

Some relevant parts are:
- numerous 7,92mm cartridge (date 39'-'40)
- an electric socket (for bomb fuzing?) : upper row, 1st from left
- dial attachement (for a muti-engined aircraft?): upper row, 2nd from left.

It should be one of those numerous LW bombers claimed in the large area of Dinant during May '40. I am sorry but details lack but not bits...

Thanks beforehand.

Best regards

ClinA-78
