I'm not sure of the true identity of the aircraft.
HE111 seems incorrect. The HE had Daimler Benz engines, if I recall correctly, and the engine cowls in the original photo are typical of the Junkers Jumo engine. The glass nose also seems to be too tall for its width to be a HE111.
My first thought, based on the cowls, was that it was a JU88 but the cockpit is completely wrong. To my eyes the JU188/288 with the taller canopy seems to fit the original photo. The height of the glass nose could explain the apparent shoulder wing of the crashed airplane.
