Hello, and thanks for the post,
I particularly like the baretta model 1935 recovered from the wreck. shows that all the soldbuch issued guns are (somewhat) authenticated, at least in this fleigergruppe. Quite a beautiful discovery. His EKM is quite plain and the bent condition definitely indicates a combat (or forced) landing from low altitudes (try bending one by hand!) Many Ekm exhibit shell or small arms fire damage, this is one of the few I've seen with verifiable crash damage. Here in the U.S. we have similiar occurances by where I live, with aircraft crashing in the high Sierra Nevadas of California. (with bodies/dogtags recovered from pilots and/or crewmen.) Also I have seen this in the backcountry of Hawaii where recovery vehicles could not extract the airframe.
Thanks for the info.
