Hi Dan:
Searching for this aircraft I found the following:

5083 ? Ju 86 BFS 6 (Lw.Befh.Mitte)
Non-OPS (S) engine failure and crash landed (50%) near Wesendorf 05.04.1943 (F Uffz. Karl Merkle, BF Uffz. Walter Barschew, BM Uffz. Michaelis Krauß, Sch Uffz. Erwin Lein, Sch Uffz. Dietrich Lischke, Sch Gefr. Anton Stehle and Sch Gefr. Fritz Maschke injured) (rep as Ju 86 ´56083´ in LW Schulen losses 07v05.04.43; poss. writing error for 5083 or W.Nr. 086083 <range not known used>)

as you can see the number is not clear but perhaps someone else might have Code or unit involved (as damage 50% does not indicate a writeoff). I whold like to see photo of this plate (private message) if that is possible as I am very interested in all such dataplates.

cheers
