3)Germans had established Dunaja sector in so called "bermuda triangle" - Cracow - Tarnow - Bochnia. Dunkel Nachtjagd (dark night hunt) was a method of intercepting allied bombers. Nightfighters were being guided bt ground radar sites.
Nachtjagdwaffe is my favourite aspect of WWII, so I'll be glad to help you to check, if that Halifax was shoot down by one.

More about Halifax...
"Trwające obecnie prace badawcze pozwolą zweryfikować fakty dotyczące wraku podawane w różnych przekazach i źródłach historycznych. Najczęściej podaje się, że zestrzelona w Dąbrowie maszyna to czterosilnikowy bombowiec Handley Page Halifax JP-276 "A". Leciała nim 7-osobowa załoga, w skład której wchodziło pięciu Kanadyjczyków i 2 Brytyjczyków. Pilotem samolotu był Arnold R. Blynn. Pozostali to: George A. Chapman, Harold L. Brown, C. B. Wylie, Arthur G. W. Liddell, Frederick G. Wenham i Kenneth J. Ashmore. Nazwiska członków tej właśnie załogi umieszczone zostały przed 4 laty na pamiątkowej tablicy w sanktuarium w Odporyszowie."
There are the names of the crew of JP-276 "A": George A. Chapman, Harold L. Brown, C. B. Wylie, Arthur G. W. Liddell, Frederick G. Wenham i Kenneth J. Ashmore.

P.S.
I'm not in a position to draw any conclusions from the wreck .. and info coming from excavators...
But, info about 'cash money spread around wreck" is suspicious...
