Unknown aircraft

Hi all
Can anyone help me identifying the type of this aircraft ? I have been told the following by witnesses, and please remember that this happened 70 years ago :
On 4-1-1944 at 14:20 a aircraft was heard and seen approaching Mors island in Denmark.
It ditched in very shallow water and continuet approx 20 meters up in a field.
One engine was torn off and ended up further 20 meters up the field.
The was no crew on board and no parachutes could be seen in the sky.

The aircraft was a twin engined aircraft with two seats side by side in the cockpit. In each side of the cockpit was a door/hatch was leading out on the top of the wings.
Aft of the cockpit was a bench in each of the aircraft. These were approx 1.50 meters long.
On the right had side was found a door.
When the aircraft had been removed by the Germans ammunition was found in the field over the next years: 7.98 mm and 13 mm or 20 mm.
Any ideas about the aircraft type ?

Re: Unknown aircraft

Could it be a Focke-Wulf Fw58?

Re: Unknown aircraft

Fw189 would be a contender

Re: Unknown aircraft

The Fw189 had a jump seat next to the pilot's seat but no benchs behind the pilot.

Re: Unknown aircraft

What puzzles me is the two pilot seats side by side, benches in the rear AND ammunition.

Sorry, just thinking of the side-by-side seating.
