The Wnr. on a FW 58 "Weihe"
 

Hello,

This has turned out to be a needle in the haystack and I hope someone has informations they do not mind to share!

The matter concerns Ogr. Jakob Stadler, who was killed in a flying accident Nov.12, 1941.
He was a member of Gross Kampf Fliegerschule 3 in Barth as an Observer.
The pilot Uffz. Werner and Wireless op. Mörz were wounded.

Their plane, a Fw 58, with Wnr. 27?6 was destroyed 70%
Would they repair an aircraft with so much damage?

Does anyone know the missing number in the Wnr.?

Kind regards and thank you

Christian

I have 11.Nov. as the date, and my WNr. ends differently.

Fw 58 WNr.2708 of Gr.Kampffliegersch. 70% damaged, Uffz. Arno Werner injured 11.Nov. 1941 in crash bei Fl.Pl. Barth, Beobachter Ogefr. Jakob Stadler killed and Bordfunker Gefr. Adolf Mörz injured. Lw.Bfh.Mitte/Deutschland

Reference: BA-MA Signatur RL 2 III/771, Flzg.-Unfälle bei Schulen und sonstigen Dienstellen, p.144

I don't have another entry for 2708, so perhaps that was its end.

Thank you very much GRM.
I did not have the "0" and will try to see if there is a factory code.

Best wishes Christian
