Re: B-17 loss near Forst/Lausitz in Brandenburg
Gentlemen,
at last Christoph Malcherowitz from the "Museumverein Peitz e.V." had sent me some photos of parts from the loss in question.
Unfortunately the engine is currently only awaiting its cleaning, so the engine number will not be known until next year. Perhaps you guys can draw any conclusions from these photos anyway.
Some additional infos from Mr Malcherowitz: Also found whas some .50 caliber ammunition with the following marks: SL 43, TW 4, DM 4, FA 44, RA 43.
Other smaller parts had the numbers 84 1127
605 and 84 1513? 513 marked on them.
According to Mr Malcherowitz the plane arrived from the east and tried a forced landing right next to the Neisse river near Forst/Lausitz.
Can anyone help? Is it an american B-17 or some soviet lend-lease aircraft? More photos follow in a second posting..
