Re: looking for info on a crashed HE111 from II/KG53

Thanks for the replies so far.

Some questions that could help narrowing down which plane this could be:

- Am I correct that it is a plane from 5th or 6st Staffel? or did Stabstaffel and 4th Staffel also use this staffelabzeichen? I know 4th Staffel had its own abzeichen, but don't know if it was used in 1941

- On the 4th of August 1941 the Geschwader bombed Moscow for the first time. Did II/KG53 before go so far East?

- When did the cold weather start in 1941? I don't see snow on the picture and the soldier isn't dressed for cold weather. (couldn't find the answer on google)

- I guess this was an emergency/crash landing, this will exclude planes that exploded in the air, air collision or planes that really fell from the skies for other reasons.

- I'm don't have much knowledge about kennung on planes. Can the fact that the second part of the kennung starts with a white letter give some info?

Thanks in advance, Thomas
