Fw 200 loss confusion
 

Can someone clear up the identities of two Condors lost during May and June '41.

Foreman, 1941: The Turning Point, Vol. 2, notes the following

21/5/41 Fw 200C-3 WNr. 0061 (F8+KL) crashed on take-off at Rennes 20%
15/6/41 Fw 200C-3 WNr. 0061 (F8+KL) crashed off the Portugese coast near Monre 100%

I'm not so worried about the Vkz., it's the WNr.s that don't add up. I checked Blitz V.3 and neither date lists an entry, though there is an entry for a WNr. 60 (F8+DH) lost on 19/5/41 and an unidentified loss in the Atlantic on 30/6/41 (any details on this?)

Any help would be appreciated

regards

Adam

Hi, Adam

Cannot see the problem here... in the first loss occuring on May 21st 1941, the aircraft was damaged 20% in a take-off accident at Bordeaux airfield.

The repair was then carried out in the subsequent weeks.


Then, some four weeks later it was noted as a total loss off the Portuguese coast.
