Seeking info on wreck recovery of Lt. Erhardt Korte crashed 9.4.40 in Norway

[Larry Hickey]

Hi,

I'm trying to ascertain if either the aircraft code or W.Nr. was determined from the wreck of Lt. Kort's Bf110C M8+?H, that was recovered at Nesodden, near Oslo, Norway, a couple of years ago. The plane was shot down on 9.4.40 during the attack on Fornebu AF. Also does anyone have photos of the crash site, either from the time of the event or more recently?

Thanx,

Larry-I have 2 photos of Korte's grave at the crash site but that is all

Thanx Chris.

Those photos of Korte's grave site would be helpful. I'm hoping that someone who might have been involved in the 2004 recovery of the aircraft remains might be able to provide some additional info on the markings or W.Nr. of the aircraft. Supposedly about 1/2 of the aircraft was recovered in a recent dig at the crash site, so there is the possibility that additional details of this aircraft might have been learned. You mention photos of the graves. My info indicates that some crew remains were recovered in the recent dig, so, as so often happens in these cases, the remains originally buried may have been fragmentary and incomplete.

Does anyone else know anything about this crash and the recent recovery of it?

Thanx,
