Hi
On eBay
here there is a press photo of a crashed Fw200. The text on the rear reads;
German plane crashes in Portugal
…The wreck of the German plane which crashed in Portugal with soldiers and officials …17th May 1941.
I have found these three Fw200 crashes in Portugal.
09-02-1941 Focke-Wulf FW 200 C1 W.Nr.0003
15-06-1941 Focke-Wulf FW 200 C3 W.Nr.006
19-12-1941 Focke-Wulf FW 200 C3 W.Nr.0863
However none of the dates match the press photo. The note that the Fw200 carried ‘soldiers and officials’ is also interesting. This would suggest it was not a normal KG 40 offensive maritime mission. Is there any information on this?
cheers
Ian
