Do 217 in Greece

Here is a picture of a belly landed Do 217 i found also in the estate.
No unit markings are visible. The writing on the back of the photo is simply "Advance-road Greece"

Re: Do 217 in Greece

Not a 217 but a 17Z. The fins appear to have the yellow Balkan Front markings, as presumably do the missing cowling panels.

Re: Do 217 in Greece

If this plane belonged to KG 3, than the last letter can be R, S or T, since the III. Gruppe only was praesent in Greece (05.1941)

Re: Do 217 in Greece
