According to the photo , the motor is complete.I guess it should
be a Daimler-Benz engine.From the fuselage is not much left .
Hopefully the pilot bailed out and survived the crash
Pilot went down with the plane......
Cool story!

Thanks for posting the link.
He was an enlisted pilot - a corporal - on a training flight. Seems like the a/c went in at high speed in a steep dive. He has been identified.
Apparently the base he operated out was a pilot training unit. The now 94 year old farmer saw the crash in 1944. He said that the plane circled, performed a few manuvers and then nosed over and dove straight into the bog. The 94 year old says that he thought at the time that it looked like he crashed deliberately. You can read the newspaper article with the interview of the witness if you like - it's in Danish of course. That's OK for me, maybe not so good for others.
