Luftwaffe loss register from northern Norway and Finland?

Hi!
I've been looking for a crash site this summer in Swedish Lappland, and will continue next summer. Two eyewitnesses saw in the early Spring of 1944 a German aircraft crash. And no one have ever found the wreck. I wonder if there is any Luftwaffe loss register from 1944 and from these regions? Maybe it was a courier flight.

Regards,

Outie

I would normally suggest this site, but it seems to be under reconstruction at the moment: http://www.rafandluftwaffe.info

Swedish Lappland is awfully big - can you narrow it a bit Down - area and year/month ?

The area is a few miles east of Kiruna city. Not sure if it was in March or April, but the year was 1944.

Re: Luftwaffe loss register from northern Norway and Finland?

This case did not match exactly neither time nor area, but I tell that German Ju-88D-1 (G2+BH) 1.(F)/124 recon plane crash landed on ice of Torne Träsk lake in 2. May 1945. Plane recovered in mid 1980's and ended up in Museum Sinsheim Germany where it "restored".

Here is loss list of Luftwaffe in the Northern front:
