Hello Mirek,

this a/c belonged to 1.(H)/31. I dont know the date of the crash and I'm still looking for details of the crew, too. Probable crash site is Zwardon.
I hope somebody can add more info.

This loss is quite strange if concern 1.(H)/31 according infro form photo plane was shot down by Polish fighet, but?

There is not such plane in total losses list done by M. Emmerling?

[Mirek Wawrzynski]

The scan of this second side, plane was shot down by Polish fighter, if I right read it?

[Rasmussen]

There isn't written the a/c was shot down by Polish fighters ... it's written "1939 - polnischer Flieger" ("1939 - Polish airplane" -- an misinterpretation).

Thanks for comments, but:

It can also mean a "Polish airman" the identity of the the perpetrator of the plane crash?

I've done too much shorthand, I thought of the perpetrators of the destruction. Not, this is a "Polish plane" because identity of it is well know for Germans: black crosses + swastica + code

Some thoughts about the knowledge of a German uninterested on the sign system of aircrafts: In my collection I have an picture of an Czech Aero MB.200 with Czech roundels and the caption on the backside: "Eine russische Maschine die von den Deutsche festgehalten wurde in Prag." ("an Russian airplane captured by the Germans ..."). I think it was known at this time in Germany they occupied Czech and not Russia. And the Russian sign - the Red star - was well know from the German Communist party ...
