I do not think it was lightning strike….because the picture description is:”Wald brand durch abgesch. lightning”. Than means: “Forest Fire by shot Lightning”

Then again, it may be just a poor translation -> forest fire due to lightning strike?
Yes, that is also possible:)

There was one which came down a few km away from the centre of Doorn in the Krakelingenweg in Zeist on 8 March 1944. 42-67719 of the 20th FG.

Thanks for the info so far.
I have an old photo taken in “Doorn”
The photo shows a small forest-fire.
Some german soldiers are standing and look to the fire.
The discription is: “Crashed Lightning”
Maybe some other airplaine is crashed in the area of Doorn?
I think if it was realy a Lightning, you all should have know that.
So i think the info on the photo is not right….

You’ll probably have to download the loss registers for the various years from the site below, search through them.

There may be other variations out there, the one I have for 1944 is:
1944 sec_tcm5-7285.pdf
If you post that into your browser, it will likely come up.
You’ll probably need Google Earth or a similar map program running to check locations. Don’t forget to include F-5s.
