Re: eBay: He111 5J+KM crashphoto and Logbook enty
Not sure about this. The NVM gives code 5J+GM, not 5J+KM. It also reports Lt Hüser as a wounded pilot, who died on 22 Jan, 1942. The logbook has Fw Finsel as a pilot and nothing about anti-aircraft gun hit, only single-engine flight. Also the photo shows a very nice and conventional belly landing, where the damage percentage might be under 10 % and therefore not officially reported.
Concerning possible repair of this aircraft, I would say yes, it was repaired. At this stage of war its condition would not have been sufficiently bad for scrapping.
