John and all,

the writing on the back of the photograph reads as: "Beim Landen war ...(?)... im Morast steckengeblieben und hat sich überschlagen."
Sorry for this, but one word i can't decipher.

Free translated in English it means: "During landing it stuck in mud and turned over."

Norbert!
Thank you!

I guess it says the a/c was stuck in the bad ice and turned over during landing. That confrims that this was a landing accident.

The missing word is simply "er" - der Bomber - ("he" in the meaning of "it")
