E ~ this date 14 SturmFw's from IV.Sturm/JG 3 and II.Sturm/JG 300 attacked B-24 formations. JG 300 Sturms some of the first useage of the new EZ 40 gun-sight which took terrible toll of the Liberators.
I am assuming it is one of the Fw casualties from JG 300 which has been found as JG 3 only lost 1 Fw.
now would it be too hard for you to translate, as if the engine is found so would be the upper nose mg 131's if they were installed and maybe some armor plate, etc.........
