Re: Fw190D-9 Shootdown 17 Feb 45

Gary,

i found the following entry at lostaircraft:

Unteroffizier Paul Gassmann (* 28.4.1923), ID-Nr. 68420/782, 3./I./JG 2, Fw 190 D-9, W-Nr. 211056, 16.2.1945 shot down by P-38 and FSA at Laudenbach, plane 99% write-off.

Mentioned crash-site Laudenbach in this entry is allocated south of Klingenberg/Main, close to today's county-borders of Hessen and Bavaria.

Loss date differs between Your post and the lostaircraft record. I've no idea which is the correct one - 16th or 17th Feb. 1945?

I found no involved US P-38 unit either for both days. Possibly someone else has something at hand.

Best Regards
Norbert
