German tri-engine long-range recce shot up on June 29, 1941

A Rumanian document notes the following: "On June 29 [1941], a German tri-engine DARMARES (sic!) aircraft returned from a long-range reconnaissance mission shot up and landed on own airfield. The board commander, a lieutenant, was dead and the aircraft had many holes in it".

Could it be an aircraft assigned to the secretive so-called 'Kommando Rowehl' – officially known as Aufklärungsgruppe des Oberbefehlshabers der Luftwaffe, or Aufkl. Gr. (F)/Ob. d. L. – as the 2nd squadron was based on an airfield near Bucharest? If so, what type could it have been?

Also, I would be very interested in other similar incidents that happened prior to 22 June 1941, involving Luftwaffe spy planes based in Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary or vicinity that flew reconnaissance missions over the USSR.
