For "Goltzen" I only found an emergency-landing of Uffz Ernst Herold at Schinkendorff near Golzen (without "t") on 25. February 1944 due to fog. But I think, this is indeed Golzen, a small village near Leipzig.

You are right that Goltzen was sometimes written as "Golzen" but in this case - Golzen near Leipzig is a different village.

North East - that's correct! But in the straight line the place where the plane is said to be crushed is located 25 km from Zielona Góra centre. Isn't it to far to be a reference point in the registry? I think that accurate German army could use smaller but closer Zullichau (Sulechow - 10 km) or Bomst (Babimost - 5 km). I don't know I just guess. What do you think?

(sorry for posting two posts in row but I didn't manage to put 2 quotes in one)

regards
