Drago1983 is on a distinguished road
Balken cross for review

Hi to everybody,
I was offered this piece of fabric from a german aircraft that states in the back , written in french, that it was shot down in France in november 1939 so months before the invasion. So it seems a piece from a with of a Storch but without the laquer...so maybe a dummy aircraft?
The strange thing is that on November 1939 the Luftwaffe reports some losses on France territories but only big recon aircraft as Do17, He111 and some ME109. So my question is how an aircraft like a Storch with an autonomy of 375km coul possibly flight over Belgium and came back.
If the written was added post was to add value to the piece...why choose a weird story like this? And not an easy one like...found somewhere else during the war?

Thank you
