If the burial details of the two dead crewmen are known and are near the crash site it might help indentify whether this loss is a possibility for the aircraft you are looking for.
Thanks but I not think Do217 can came here in Salerno (south Italy) and return to Marseille. Perhaps they came from Foggia. The crash site of this DO217 is on the route that from Salerno go to Foggia....
