Interesting. Judging by the lighting it seems to be relatively shallow. I does look like an 88.

In theory, there's a possibility of raise and restore it as far as the airframe structure is concerned?

Great stuff Dominik! Obviously I can't be certain, but from the remains, and the wing plan in particular, I'm guessing a Ju88A-5 or A-4 maybe?

Looks pretty well deteriorated...

The passage of time has not been kind to these wrecks being found recently

Great find though, thanks for posting the video!

Great find Dominik! I'm also thinking Ju 88A-4/5. Not a 188 in any case.
