It was damaged 23rd June 1942, shot up over Sidi Barani, with two men wounded from the Lt.Stange crew. At that time it was coded like 6N+KJ (source: Ulf Balke KG 100 chronicle).

Carl

It looks like it's coded 6N+KJ in the photo, too (and W.Nr. 7074).

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

I did ask the seller for better scans but he never replied so we'll have to do with this one:
a Fw 190, Ju 88 ??+AR and a photo of a pile of wrecks:

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

The Fw 190 D-9 in the lower left corner is W.Nr. 210239 from 6./JG 26, crash-landed in Wesel area on 9th March 1945.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

For Tom W.─

Regarding the Hs 129 + Z Q in 59-586, I have just come to the same conclusion
as yourself based on the Pegg title on the Hs 129. Boy, the data in this Werknummer
range are thin on the ground!

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hi Rabe

A little confused with the Hs129 W/Nr batch and the part Stkz ??+ZQ. Can you please elaborate. Thanks
Tom

FF: Lt. Mittendorf OR von Mylius (not a Staffelkapitän)
Bf: Uffz. Erich Stifter
Bm: Gefr. Johann Blever
Bs: Ogefr. Werner Lefkes + (b. 07/09/1924 in Viersen, buried in unknown grave at the Kriegsgräberstätte in Wesel-Diersfordt (D))

By all accounts, one man died in the crash, two wounded men were shot, and one man was taken prisoner. Ogefr. Lefkes is the only confirmed death so far, but two bodies of the crew are visible in photos taken the day after the crash, and other photos from a later time show the body of the pilot after recovery from the cockpit (which was apparently cut open to get the body out).

Cheers

Thanks as ever, RudiS, for your haul.

A small precision: what is called a Bf 109 is actually the starboard engine fo a destroyed He 111 H.
