He-111 excavation

Posted by 52eme on Mon Sep 16, 2002 07:12:52 AM

Hello,

A friend of mine excavated some remains of a german bomber, probably a He-111 according to evidence found on site and crash witness accounts.
Th plane crashed in France, a few miles north of the swiss border.
He recovered several parts including a prop blade, a very damaged bomb sight and a data plate.
My friend would like to return some of the components to the famillies of the crewmen who died in the crash.

The prop blade has the following data :
9-11014.11 0
WNr 43 033
HK-3
52 290

the blade is painted overall green with red, hand painted number 43 033-3

The data plate he found is about 2in wide, with the following text :
Heinkel-Werke G.m.b.H.
Oranienburg
Fabr.Nr.2223 (the last two digits could be 3 or 8)
Abn. RS
and a small circular stamp with a letter H and 195

can anybody help me with finding the names of the crewmen who died in that crash ?

regards,
fred
