I just got the information from an eyewitness about the time of the crash. It happened at 11am.

In the 18 crashes of Do 217 that I was able to count from August 19, 1942, 7 have a schedule, including 3 at 11 am, and thus 11 without schedule...
In the 3 that crashed at 11h
5423 went down at Sauchay, for the 2 others 5447 and 5457, they were shot down in aerial combat by a Spitfire of 310 Squadron near Dieppe.
A Do 217 crashed in Great Britain.
So there are 10 more possible...

As for the Do 217 at Varengeville, according to the information I have, it would be under the football stadium.

I'm looking for the crash site of the Do 217 W. Nr 5459 U5+GP

Chris, do you have any more information on the Do 217s you mention?

Sincerely
François
All I've got for 5459 is it was damaged by AAA and crashed 40km NNW of Dieppe.
