Unknown Crashsite

HI Merlin,
this seems to be another top message, aiming at another region, Hohe Tatra.
I will try to find someone there who can confirm the mountain scenery. Anyway a great turn in our research.
I am interested in the GQM files. Are they free, where to get them?
Thx for effort, perhaps we receive a refering recent foto one day.
Best

Dear Jim,
due to all contributions we solved the crashite and the involved crew.
Yes you are right, it is the Tatra incident and my friend Peter Kassak from Slovakia has sent me this list, similar to yours:

Seems it had not been recovered, no traces later...these birds of the Ln-Rgt were probably precious, so seems landing had been pretty hard, a piece of luck there for the crew...

Aside of this case, Wonder if anybody has spurs of the Wn 3915, because the next in the row NR+AG was Wn 3916.

You are right,Nick, so many Wn are missing there, Wonder if the 59xx Wn series has not been built before mid-39, the STKZ would hv been in that case given at the unit level , the Ln-Rgt, in fact quite all of the NR+A , prior 1942, has link with Ln/Rgt -KGr.100 , same for NN+O , NQ+A, TA+B
