I'm familiar with the PDF you linked, which is a useful document indeed.
But you may well be right, maybe this isn't Tober's aircraft. It's said Tober bailed out and his crew died. So indeed a wreck "
completely burned", "where the tail only remained" seems more likely than a neatly belly landed wreck which the photos I posted appear to show. John Manrho also mentioned a high-impact crash. So let's forget about Tober and let's try to find out what aircraft these photo really show, because that's the aircraft I've modelled. Date is most likely first quarter 1944, given the bare state of the land (in spring it'd get green). Location looks very much like the Netherlands, north, east or south. I've checked both Hardenberg and Gilze-Rijen surroundings and both are possibilities. Just typical Dutch countryside, which doesn't narrow down the search much.
