Vraket av et tysk Heinkel 111 H-3 bombefly i snøen. Foran flyet står det noen soldater.
Bildet er tatt i forbindelse med kampene rundt Narvik i 1940. Flyet ble angrepet av tre britiske Gloster Gladiator jagerfly fra 263 Squadron, og nødlandet nord for Gratangsbotn. Tre av mannskapet, Oberleutnant Paul Hartmut (pilot), Unteroffizier Günter Eichmann og Unteroffizier Hans Blunk, overlevde og ble tatt til fange.
Det kan se ut som det, takk for forslaget! Mvh Sør-Troms Museum
