He 111 / 70139 ?

[JoMe]

Hi all

In crashed enemy aircraft report No.265, He 111, WNr. 70139, reported crashed at Grandrue (Belgium ? / France ?). The machine should have been loaded with replenishment goods.
The WNr. is not complete.
Maybe it is the WNr. 700139?
For this airplane I have only the information that it was lost in Aug. 1944. Date, location and cause are unknown for me. The loss should have been 4 dead and 3 injured.
Can someone give me more information about the loss of 700139?

many Greetings

Hi Matti and Brian

Thank you very much for your comments. I had suspected that the two planes were identical.
I'm sure it is the WNr. 701397. Thank you very much Brian.
Also many thanks Matti, for the information on WNr.700139.
