Just found this photo of my grandfather with "St Andre, France 1945" written on the back. The best I can tell (may be way off) this appears to be a Me-210. It's my best guess due to the circular "hole" over my grandfathers shoulder where the remote gun turret would would have been. What do you guys think?

It could be a -410, as well.

Must be a Me-410 owing to the rear framing of cockpit.

Me 410 A-1/U2 of 6./KG 51, Werk Nummer 420101, 9K+CP, wreck examined by Allies at St. André-de-l'Eure, France following the Normandy campaign and German withdrawal. It seems that only one of its engines was present. Markings were described as: '9K black, CP black yellow border'.
