Thank you Rudi.
Nice views of "Weisses F".

It was Michiel who posted these, Franck.

Does anyone have a WNr and/or unit for this Me 262?

Dear Rudi, Michiel found some new views of Me 262 A-2a W.Nr. 111685 “9K+FH”, 1./KG 51. Found at war’s end at the Schattenflughafen Hofoldinger Forst near Munich; this machine was later towed to Brunnthal and scrapped.

Cheers
Marc

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Thanks Marc-Andre always nice to know more about some finds. I find towing a 262 for some distance a bit suspect but there you go.

You’re welcome Michiel ! As for the towing of the planes from their dispersals along the München-Salzburg Autobahn to Brunnthal, we had a superlative photo album sold a few years ago illustrating this process. Wish I had kept them...

Cheers
Marc

This Fw 190 D-9 W.Nr. 401 381 was found at war's end at Pilsen-Bory airfield.

Thanks as ever, RudiS, for your steadfastness finding those photos.

No problem whatsoever. And thanks for sharing the info on the Fw 190. Very much appreciated.

All photos were made at Köthen, after 13 April 1945.

One can recognise among the 109's two photos of Erla built Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. unknown "Weisse ?"of 4./NJG 11, a characteristic machine with its radar aerials sticking out under its nose and its right wing undersurface painted black. Another photo of this machine can be found here:

Another landmark was Fw 190 S-8 W.Nr. 680430 "Weisse 30" of 1./JG 110. Another photo of this machine can be found here: http://www.soldiersmuseum.com/pages/...armored-56.htm

The last plane to pinpoint the location is the Ju 86. Other photos of this machine can be found here: http://www.soldiersmuseum.com/pages/...armored-58.htm

Thanks for those finds, RudiS!

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hey Rudi,
those pictures with the blown-up He 177 show the E-Stelle Tarnewitz, near Lübeck. The seller also offers a photo of an interestingly painted ex-soviet KV-tank at the same location. Nice find!

Location is Tarnewitz, as ascertained by another photo published by Hideki Noro in "LO+ST", 2009, p. 18, showing the wrecked He 177 and the gaggle of Fw 190 F-8's, among them "GM+DR" which was assigned to E-Stelle Tarnewitz in March 1945 (source stammkennzeichen.de)

Cheers
Marc
