Help to ID Fi156? down near Sedan, France, during WC

Hello,

I've got two problems, this is supposed to the be a German a/c down in the Sedan area, probably during the May, 1940, period. Can anyone confirm the a/c type? This looks like a high wing monoplane, perhaps an Fi156. Can anyone confirm that?

Second, does anyone have any other photos of this crash, or can help ID the specifics of date, location, crew, circumstances?

Thanx,

The picture is no more online, but it it was a Fi 156, it might also be one of the aircraft lost during the Niwi operation, not near Sedan but in the nearby Ardennes. It was probably the operation that see the highest Fi 156 losses.

Seems indeed like a Fi 156 to me...
