Monte Amiata, Italy
During the II WW Monte Amiata, south Tuscany, was hit several time by allied bombers, and many airplanes belly landed or crashed there. Is there any book or witness about these casualities? Few days ago I was able to find a crash site of a german airplane, here two parts of the many I was able to collect






Regards, Andrea

300620 is WNr. for Becker's Ju 88, which was lost on April 12, 1944. See John Beaman's reply.
