I agree with Harrison987

Very Sad and so young.

Can the correct Werknunner and SKZ for Hans Wünderlich's aircraft be verified or confirmed? Also, is his unit or that of the aircraft known?

Werk Nr. 165096 NI+XZ 1./JG 102

Re: Remains of Bf 109 and Pilot found in Denmark
 

According to my database entries, NI+XZ was WNr.165196.
WNr.165096 should be NR+ED (but not confirmed).

Could be a typing error from my side years ago

I have WNr 165196 as lost June 20th 1944 at Clastres with Uffz Jürgen Zarte from 9./JG 1 at the controls?

Well, fellows, it looks like we've got another case of a typographical error with Hans Wünderlich's Bf 109.

If the Werknummer was 165 096, the SKZ would have been N R + E D as has been said. For me this SKZ looks 95 per. sure match for 165 096.

BUT—if the SKZ were N I + X Z as Jòrn has said based on the NVLM, then 165 196 is the Werknummer. I would like other opinions, but for me, a mistake in the number seems more likely than a mistake in the SKZ.

So, it seems to me that we should have 165 196 N I + X Z as the most probable candidate for the kite in question.
