Thanks!
By the way, the one crashing into the mountain, was the victim of the eastern fog. The folk's myth however state it was the victim of a (good) witch which is buried on the mountain, and wowed that even after her death she would protect her fjords!
The one I was looking for was a He-111 and went down in April 1941.

The only one that the guy knows was may 22, of 1941.  I wonder if the month was wrong on his end, your end or all around.
