An amazing discovery. Thanks for posting Gunny. Always find the personal items rather sad...
Very well preserved, hope they can raise it in the future, but i do wish these national papers would stop using the term "Nazi" just to sensationalise and sell papers, then in the same breath use its correct definition ie "Luftwaffe aircraft", everything they print re Germany in the war years is branded Nazi, it really does get my goat
It does look as though they may have been lost and ran out of fuel as it can be seen that whilst not feathered, the props weren't turning at the time of the apparent ditching.
