He111s III/KG3 and KG53 in late 1944

Hello Nick,

This is very interesting - exact location is Braassemermeer - a large lake about 5 miles northeast of Leiden -

I remember seeing pictures (source ??) of the blow up of a German plane in this lake - the eyewitness told me that it was a German plane and that the German blew it up in the last month of 1944 - I always thought that the eyewitness had mixed things up, because at that time the Germans were also blowing up bridges and I was unable to find details regarding a crash in 1944 in that area - well there is now proof of a German plane.

Who has more details on this plane?

Regards
Rob
