From the informations of my friend (the son of the field owner where the plane crashed), the wreck was removed after the crash. We only found few parts from the bottom of the plane.

That depends on the source. Matti has the loss list from the luftwaffe. Very dependable information. And now a warning. It could be that remains are still in the wreck. I do not know if the allies found this one. The same for ordenance on board.

Kuhn, Franz Josef Uffz 9/KG-54 Ju 88A-4 Werk # Unk "B3 + GT" (lost 6/6/44) Bomber Operational Clasp Opposed the Normandy Invasion attacking shipping, along with four others from his squadron. Added: MIA 6 June, 1944, crashed into Seine Bay, off the Normandy coast, cause unknown. Remaining crew unnamed, all MIA except the unnamed R/O listed as POW (D.Drury).
This is info from the kracker career site. Here you can find if a person won a medal of sorts. For all german arms.Can you please explain me what does that means "except the unnamed R/O listed as POW (D.Drury). " ?
For example I found this distress socket.
So the pilot didn't die during the crash ?
That's so amazing !!!!
That means he shot this bullet after landing / crashing ?
That's so awesome !
Thanks a lot. As soon as I can I'll share all my pictures.

So kuhn won an award before death, was flying with Kg 54, 9th staffeln and in a ju 88A-4 coded B3+GT code ( code i.g on fuselage.) 3 crew members are still missing. Now it is posible they jumped before impact an drowned and were never found. Happened a lot.
R/o is radio operator, d.drury the source for this info.OK
"R/O" stands for "Radio Operator" ? Name "D.Drury" is just a supposition ?
Thanks !
Some more pictures.

When you do make any numbers on it as good as it gets. It will help enoermouly to find out what and where it was.I'll share some picture of the Antenna, electric wires, gears, and buttons I found.
I will also continue searching deeper...
I still don't know what thes hatches (from my first post post on this forum) are. I found 3 of them.
It's really an incredible experience. Thanks for your help.
The hatches are inspection/maintenance hatches. Some are with quick release others are with bolts. yours is i think a quick release or in german SchnellverschlussI still don't know what thes hatches (from my first post post on this forum) are. I found 3 of them.

Really cool to have this documentation !The hatches are inspection/maintenance hatches. Some are with quick release others are with bolts. yours is i think a quick release or in german Schnellverschluss
There were many. But as you say you only found bottom parts i would go for the ones under the plane.
