[yaneck]

Hello

I get information about a german plane crash south of Aisne in France.
The city is Montigny l'Allier.
Plane was shoot down during the harvest (some bundle of hay burnt).
I could be July 443 or 44.
It was early in the morning ( 6h30 AM LT)
I found some small parts but not able to identify them.
That all I have today...
If somebody have an idea.....

Thx for your help.

Best regards.

Hello!

Thanks for the information. Is the location could match with the airbase? Montigny L'Allier is 50 km North east of Paris.
I found an aibase in the mediteranean theater.
We found lot of plexiglass part in the site.
Can you help? I'm in doubt.

Plexiglass suggests an Allied plane I beleive.

PLEXIGLAS was introduced in Germany in 1933:

Thaks for the answer and sorry for the small information availabe.
I speak today with the old guy.
I speack about 2 dead body (or more) and a twin engined aircraft.
I ask him if it was a lined or radial engined, but he was no sure maybe radial....
with lot of plexiglass, is taht could be a ME110 night fighter? 6h30 in the morning could push in that way?

Could we get more information about Lt Wünsch, Karl? Is there a possibility to confirmed Montigny as Montigny in the south of aisne, NE paris??

Thanks

Bonjour Yanick,

If your witness thinks radial engines and the night fighter hypothesis is followed, then this could well be either a Ju 88 C-6 or Ju 88 G-6. Both had quite an extent cockpit glazing surface.

Between 1943 and 1944, Stab and II./NJG 2 were based at Coulommiers, together with II./NJG 4, whilst I./NJG 2 was based at Chateaudun.

God luck in your research

Hello Yanick,

if you have parts, I suggest you look for markings or, even better, post pictures of them on the forum,

you will always have an expert able to identify them.

All the best

I have only this, but maybe the location is not the correct Montigny:

1940-05-17, 14.(Z)/LG 1, Bf 110C, 2811, Zwischen Pévy und Montigny nordwestlich Reims, Beschuß von Hurricane. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Uffz Schmitt, Friedrich, + (Noyers-Pont-Maugis/Frankreich, Block 1, Grab 1059)
Bordfunker Uffz Schmidt, Heinz, + (Lommel/Belgien, Block 44, Grab 448)
