If I remember correctly the aircraft came down next to the lake and slid on to the lake after attacking a bridge at Maas (probably in-correct spelling, apologies for that!). I think the date was December 31st 1944, but again, I may be wrong.
To my knowledge the aircraft sank into the lake through the ice within minutes of coming to rest. As far as I am aware it was never recovered. Now, I have heard that the lake in question was subjected to the dumping of a large quantity of wood by-product or the like for some reason.
Be worth a look though, and please do count me in........
