Looking for info about crashed FW200 Number 52 on 8 June 1943 in south west of France
I am looking for information or pictures about this aircraft or its crew:
This FW200 C-3/U2 from 9./KG 40 crashed on 8 June 1943 north of Toulouse after an engine inboard fire.
The aircraft was flying loaded with bottles, garments etc.. when an engine took fire; The burning engine fell in a river shortly before landing (fierce fire!), the aircraft clipped trees and crashed in a field.
All crew was alive (list here under) though hurt, and one crew died the next day.
Any information about this machine and his crew is welcome;

This part (picture) is of course from this aircraft.
Look forward to comments / ino.
