Re: FW200 Crash 21.10.41

The code of the Fw 200C-2 WNr. 0023 that crashed during nightlanding on 21.10.41 was F8+EV.
The WNr. 0023 force-landed at Brest on 21.9.1940 and in the loss reports the code is said to be F8+EM but this is an error, most likely it was F8+EH.

Regarding the photo of F8+KH it is not photoshopped, the Luftwaffe had 'washable' black paint to paint there planes for night operations. I./KG 40 used it for night operations in the summer and autumn of 1940.

SchnellMeyer, on the Axis History Forum you say that the photo of F8+KH is taken over France in 1941 and it is WNr. 0023. What is your source for this information?
The Fw 200C-2 were in autumn or winter 1940/41 fitted with C-3 type gun turret. And since F8+KH does not have the C-3 type turret I would think that this photo is taken in summer or autumn 1940.
