Again very interesting IgorrB

First of all the WNr were 3306 and 5039 (none of my sources ever mention 3806)

I presume, through your answer, there are Soviet/Russian documents today which explicitly state the photos are of WNr 5039? What I am driving at is that you are not just quoting from a book or other second hand source, for example Mardanov, are you?.

Looks like we are back to a place called Klimovka Bay. Fair enough. It also seems we are in agreement which place it is. Certainly fits the mission profile, recce flight along the coast.

We also agree upon the code given on the crashed aircraft 4D+RN.

This is what Hannu Valtonen says about the two aircraft

WNr 088.3306 4D+RN 5./KG 30 crashed at the Motovskiy Bay (fiord?) inlet 16.9.1941 due to technical reasons (90% damage). The crew was taken away. The Russians captured the aircraft, made it flyable but it crashed (was destroyed?) 13.2.1943.

WNr 088.5039 4./KG 30 crashed in the Murmansk area with the fate of the crew unknown (+ listing of the four individuals)

From the above it is quite clear that added facts from non-German sources have been added to WNr 3306 but not to 5039.

As I see it, it is of course perfectly possible previous given facts from Soviet/Russian sources are behind the mistakes here and the data supplied to Hannu Valtonen were incorrect.
Are we talking about two aircraft both carrying 4D+RN? Did 3306 in fact carry 4D+RN at all?

Well, I don't get any further with this. Sorry!

Cheers
