Out of interest, I just looked on Google Earth and the street name comes up Pöppelstraße with an "l". There's a modern block of flats there now.

Many thanks,

If I understand well, the plane crashed directly in city between the houses?

and my error, the plane belonged to IV./Erg.KG 1, not Erg.KG(J)

Hello Jan,

according to the Gen.Qu. loss return 17 March 1945 item 60 the plane belonged to the I./Erg.KG (J), not IV./Erg.KG 1.
