Trying to ID incident (Place/Date) for this crashed 1.KGr100 He111H, probably coded 6N+DH

[Larry Hickey]

Hello,

For years I've been trying unsuccessfully to ID this crashed 1./KGr100 He111H, probably coded 6N+DH. Since we're dealing with that unit in another TOCH thread, I thought I'd take another shot at identifying this one again. There is a small chance that this could be 6N+DL.

The markings on it suggest late 1940 or early 1941, as does the extra masts for the radio beam guidance system. The White "D" on the top of the fin is consistent with markings used during this period. I can't find any photo references to these kinds of markings or equipment on unit a/c in photos taken during the Russian Campaign of later. Based upon the heavy overcoats on the soldiers, and the lack of leaves on the trees in the background, this must have taken either in the late winter or very early spring of 1940, or during the late fall or winter of 1940-41. Can't see any black overpainting typical of "The Blitz" during the winter of 40-41, but some areas which are not visible could still be painted that way. This is likely the replacement for the known 6N+DH believed to have crashed on a French beach about August, 1940.

In years past I've run this by Kjell Sørensen of the Flyvrak website and he doesn't think this looks like Norway, but possibly Denmark or France. I've also previously run it by Jean-Louis Roba and Ulf Balke, both of whom have published books on KG100, and neither could ID it. So who can help me ID it?. Are there other photos out there of this crash?

Thanx for your help.
