Tony,
Let's see:
Single engined fighter lying on its back, in-line engine with low exhausts (DB or Jumo?). Three-bladed propellor with broad blades, indicating German or Italian origin. The spinner is missing apparently. The photo isn't very clear but it seems there are no underwing radiators. The site where the photo came from is Greek so pointing strongly into the Axis direction. The underside of the nose is very shallow missing an oil-cooler intake a la Messerschmitt.
I would think it's an Italian wreck, possibly Macchi 202/205. But then again it's just a guess.
Do you have more information Tony?
