Re: Need history of He111P WNr. 2463

Hello,

The plaque is little, on it it is written:

Heinkel Werk ??? G.m.b.H
Oranienburg
Fabr.Nr. 2407
Ab? LML then a little roundel with the number 68 in it

The crash-site is near Vierzon in France, I found many pieces of this aircraft.
The local witness cannot remember the year of the crash exactly, 1942 or 1943...It was in the evening, he said that the He111 was shot down by an other plane.
All the crew was killed and taken in the morning by germans army.
They leave all the wreckage in the wood, a great part was taken in 45 or 46 by local people.
I found some cartridge of light gun, but no other marking on all I found .

Alain.
