Me109E-1, 2./JG 76, Schwarze 7, crash site?

Hello Guys,

In is "Prima" site David Weiss did publish four pictures of this plane crash. look at that one for example.
http://www.messerschmitt-bf109.de/di...otonummer=5349

Site crash is being indicated as Markirch which actualy is Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines/Markirch. This small city is situated in Vosges massif.

More recently (one or two month ago) three pictures of the same plane crash were put on ebay. On pictures back it was handwritten Le Mont-Dieu as being the place where the picture has been taken; hence where this crash happened!

Le Mont-Dieu is a very small community (25 Hab. to day) in Ardennes massif. Well! It's not exactly the same place!!
I tend to think Le Mont-Dieu to be the right place since crash time is May-June 1940 as indicated by David and since this place was one of the rare where French army (1er régiment de Hussards) did stop for three days german advance in May 1940. And I suppose too the air fights have been as hard as it was on ground....

So, the question is: Can somebody help?
French claims? LW losses?
I'll appreciate.

Regards,
Franck.
