- - Fw 200 WNr 2895 (http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=22889)

Hi to all,

I have a note that the Fw 200 A-0 WNr 2895, a former Lufthansa machine, was lost in an accident on 18 January 1943 near Chateaudun, France, while with 11.(Erg)/KG 40.

Can anyone confirm this and give more details (names and fate of the crew will be appreciated) ?

Thanks in advance

Laurent
