Two Do 17P crashes in Greece, 17. or 18 .4.41.

[Boris Ciglic]

Hi Remi,

I have a photo of one of these aircraft (Do 17P-1 6M+GK). Few years ago there was another photo of the same plane at ebay and on its back was inscription that it was taken at Larissa. My photo was taken at the end of April/begining of May 1941 and if I remember correctly these were the only losses which corresponded to the photo. In that case it should have been from the 2.Staffel, the 4. was at Graz (or possibly Zagreb) at the time. Unfortunately the W.Nr. on its nose is not recognizeable. It looks like it was damaged on landing rather than take-off. The W.Nr.3282 seems like clerical error as this W.Nr. is from Do 17Z range. It rather seems to be W.Nr.3582.

Cheers,
Boris
