Relic of german seaplane

The following relic is from a german seaplane which destroyed near the port of Milos , Greece at 10/10/1944. This airplane was carrying german troops from Milos to Piraeus.It hit the ground while attempting to take off during the night.The casualties were 10 german soldiers.
Does anyone have any loss records from that period ?

Finally appears to be Fairey IIIF.I came in contact with the Greek Aviation Museum and they confirm the identity of the aircraft as a Fairey IIIF.
Do you have any records about the Ju-52 floatplanes in the Aegean?

Thank you very much Remi.Finally it appears to be a Do-24 of 70. Seenotstaffel.This relic was found many years later in a well near the site of the crash!
