We had an unproductive discussion with Franek before a long time concerning the Polish unit III/4 and the German opponent I./ZG 1. It seems it brought completely nothing.

it is extremelly clear that the cause was a collision

In fact nothing is clear. "An account of an airman"... Just one simple question to Franek: What is the name of this airman?
By the way, this "maybe-collision" is completely uninteresting concerning the victories of I./ZG 1. Por. Okrzeja of the 112 eskadra was one of the fallen pilots, but he fought with Do 17`s of I./KG 2.

kpt. pil. Leśniewski is one distinctive possibility, shot down by Me 110s on 4 September

Kpt.Rolski seems to be the only one who wrote about a "Bf 110" on this day. In fact the pilots of III/4 saw no differences between a Do 17 and a Bf 110. They even didn`t know what a Bf 110 was.
For them both types - the unknown Bf 110 as well as the Do 17 - were just Do 17`s (look to the 2th September 1939 fightings were all Bf 110`s of ZG 1 were described as Do 17`s).
The so called "Bf 110" on the 4th were just Bf 109`s of I.(J)/LG 2. The German unit claimed 3 victories. The "Bf 110" stated by Rolski was just a mistake. German records so far do not confirm that I./ZG 1 flew this sortie.

I have scans of original 1939 documents.

You mean
Polish documents. I think this is a very important difference. But regarding the participating German aircraft types these documents are
(almost) useless.

I am sending a note to moderators to have a closer look on the thread.

A very good idea! The last time your fellowman Mirek was starting with furious personal attacks. I hope you make it better Franek.
Best wishes,
