The footage mentioned appears at the end of this clip that was published in a contemporary German newsreel
 
I was puzzled at the engine remains shown at 37 seconds into the clip, if it was a Hampden then it should have had Pegasus engines, but that didn't look like any part of a Pegasus to my mind. Looks like the sump cover of an in line, Merlin perhaps? Footage from another clip spliced in?
 
Everything I can find seems to confirm X2996 as a Hampden so it looks as though the clip has a bit of material spliced in.
