Re: Bodenwöhr Waldwerk - Mtt Bf 109 K-4 assembly lines 1944 - 1945
Hello there,
It is strange how since long known pictures of Bf 109 K-4 come under a new light when checked out according to your hypothesis, Roland, for differenciating between airframes produced the Cham-Bodenwöhr Waldwerk and the Flossenbürg-Vilseck KZ Werk.
I stumbled yesterday on this already often published picture of Bf 109 K-4 W.Nr.33X XX4, White 3 of I./JG 27 photographed by RCAF personel sometimes in the autumn 1945. The machine sports the distinctive snake pattern, and the last W.Nr. digit still shows aft of the Green RV band of JG 27. One more documented machine stemming from the Cham-Bodenwöhr assembly line...
Btw, since your post #111, Roland, I keep on stumbling on Bf 109 G-14's showing the same four digit W.Nr. sprayed on their aft fuselage, and full W.Nr. on top of the tail Hakenkreuz. Obviously also Cham-Bodenwöhr machines. Thanks again for this intimate satsifaction to decode more fully the existing pictures!
