My interest in airplanes and articles about historic airplane incidents, has led me to search after more facts about these incidents.
Some crash sites are marked on maps, in some cases road signs will show the way to the site. Then again in some cases the incident i just mentioned on a local historic homepage, or before the internet era in a local history book.
This incident came up under the work with the two first Ju52 incidents. A picture from 2016 of a sign with a Ju52 and some text about what happened in the autumn 1941.
