Re: UNKNOWN LUFTWAFFE BOMBER

Nah guys, that Luftwaffe Do 17 Z (I presume) photo shows it lying in a puddle of water (sea-water), merely mirroring the bent props that way, and those "strange" horizontal bands on fuselage and cowlings are leftovers of (salt) dirt from the seawater. Likely "the banding" having been created by the tides coming and going, and salt drying on the surface, at various heights. Its quite tempting blame Photoshop´ing but I am certain this is not such. Diagonal Light band on nose indeed suggests KG 2 aircraft.
