Crash-site location of 13 Stukas?

I would be interested to know if anyone has identified the site where the 13 Stukas of i./St.G.76 led by Hauptmann Sigel (who survived) crashed on the range at Neuhammer, now in Poland. (51deg 28min N, 15deg 24min E).

Fooling around with Google Earth I found a group of holes west of Neuhammer, and marked the location on a 1937 aerial photograph published to the web by the Bundesarchiv.
The chances of this being the spot can be discounted, but it would be interesting to know if anyone has dug up the Stuka remains.

I notice my annotation of the 1937 photo has not come out; it should be just north of the second P in Truppen.
