Fatal accident in Corfu

[RT]

It seems to wear german codes , but didn't found any crash around that date

Remi

I thought the same Remi,

it`s definitely a german plane, the document comes from a german war diary;

can`t locate the unit with that code, i hoped somebody else can

The crew was: Lt Horst Drognitz + / Uffz Hans Broemel wounded / Uffz Herbert Puchert + / Uffz Erich Wrusch +.
My source is LG 1/1, page 457.

Somehow the document speaks of a "dreimot. Flugz.", or three-engined airplane....
