Ebay pic - Hagenow airfield 1945

And another discovery - a nice photo from Hagenow after capture, depicting a wingless He 177 and a wrecked Fw 190 A:

Hint to the location is He 111 "SG+FY" in the background. This aircraft appears in Hideki Noro's "Lo+ST" photo book, with "Hagenow" written on the image. I have no idea what kind of location the photo owner wrote on this one on ebay, maybe some slang term the soldiers used for the airfield back then. No location in the vicinity of Hagenow resembles this word.

Attached is another shot (and details), apparently from the same album, but which appeared on Tonelli's site some years ago. The Fw 190 on its back features the stenciled marking style of III./KG 200. Parts of this group later transferred to NSGr. 20, based at Hagenow. Perhaps this is one of those aircraft.

Regards,
Christian
