Two Ju 88 Crash Photos for Identification Please 1940-42

Hi all

Two more rather challenging images to try and untangle.

The first shows what I think is a Junkers Ju 88A-1 force-landed on German held territory. I noted the bent metal propeller blades and uniforms and think this places the image to 1940 and perhaps the Aalborg area. The unit is II. Gruppe, KG 30.

The second image is very difficult to determine from the aircraft as it is so far away but I am hoping someone might recognise the geography. I think this could be anytime up to summer 1942 (season assumed from the trees to be summertime) and in North Norway or elsewhere in northern Scandinavia but this is a pure guess. The unit is again II. Gruppe, KG 30.

If anyone can add anything to my knowledge of either image I would be very grateful.
