Nice... we can see also an He 219, a Ju 87D, several Fw 190 and at last one Me 109. Edit... It may be a Ju 87G.

Re: Nice view of Luftwaffe wracks
 

Amazing video, thanks a lot for the link!

The He 219 would seem to be the rather mysterious machine from NJGr.10, sporting "Liegeplatz-Tarnung" in addition to the standard RLM75/76 Nachtjäger camouflage.
The "inverted" colours on the spinners (white (or RLM76) with black/dark spirals) are also noteworthy.

As for the Fw 190's and the Bf 109, they have the "flavor" of the burnt out Altenburg Forst wrecks. Anyone can confirm ?

Cheers

The Ju 52/3m seems to be cannibalized for shingles for roof-repair

Ju52 3138/3136 .... strange always thought there was a gap between 3128 to 3139

Re: Nice view of Luftwaffe wracks
 

I add two screen captures : a Fw 190D and a Fw 190A.
Comments about their colors would be wellcome !!

Re: Nice view of Luftwaffe wracks
 

They remind me of similar photos published in The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Dora, Volume Two, by Jerry Crandall. A number of color combinations are mentioned but I shy away from making comparisons, bowing to his expertise. The photos in the book are not in color, but there are some color profiles of various aircraft found at various locations.

This Dora is interesting.

Some notes for discussion:
- Focke-Wulf -built (21xxxx)
- 81 Green ("83", or maybe brown)?/82 Green/Light Green(Green-blue) fuselage and wings (with additional 82 mist over fuselage sides? Tail replaced at some point?)
- Patch of 81 Brown mottle showing from behind the tree
- What is very curious is that the lighter shade (82) is dominating the fuselage, with other Doras it is commonly seen the other way around.
- The exhaust residue seems considerable, but there are no markings? Can this be linked to the area somehow?
- Lack of mottling around the tail plug and domination of lighter shade over fuselage reminds me (Although the fuselage colour distribution can't be confirmed) of "White 13 '210982'" in Crandall's book

Re: Nice view of Luftwaffe wracks
 

I do not really see any residue of torching the planes. More like they were blown up.

Re: Nice view of Luftwaffe wracks
 

My references for the He 219 in the video indicate that it was found in the Halle area, about 20-30 km north-east of Leipzig (Germany).
Of course, it is not 100% certain that all of the wrecks in the video where located at the same place.

Hello Von Alles,

First, thank you for posting your beautiful “screen captures.”

Second, I agree with your contention regarding the broken-backed He 219 with the distinctively-spiraled spinners being found at Halle.

Finally, I tried to emulate your screen captures but can’t figure it out. Any possibility you can add the others on the film clip?

Von Alles,

Sir, thank you very much for posing these stills. I hope to eventually figure out how you do it.
