Re: Fw 189 A-1 of 1.(H) 32. Norway
Hi, Kjell
1.(H)/32 sustained losses on the following dates of 1944:
22.03.1944 can be ruled out - aircraft damaged 10 - 50% on an operational sortie observed by the enemy
26.03.1944 can be ruled out - loss reason not compatible - bombed on the ground
15.04.1944 can be ruled out - three crew members killed
12.05.1944 can be ruled out - three crew members killed
28.05.1944 possible - 1 crew member killed - 2 wounded - Matti? Any NVM on this one?
03.07.1944 distinct possibility - loss on a non-operational sortie - no injuries to crew
05.09.1944 possible - one crew member wounded
22.09.1944 distinct possibility - loss on a non-combat flight - no injuries to crew
25.09.1944 can be ruled out - shot down by Flak - but no crew injuries
09.10.1944 can be ruled out - 2 aircraft destroyed on the ground by ground forces
13.10.1944 2 aircraft - at least one can be ruled out as it was destroyed by Infantry fire. The other is a possibility
22.10.1944
23.10.1944 can be ruled out - shot down in combat - 1 crew member killed (Bf 109?)
02.11.1944 possible but unlikely - total loss on an operational sortie - 1 crew member wounded
08.11.1944 possible but unlikely - damaged on an operational sortie
12.11.1944 can be ruled out - aircraft destroyed on the ground by ground forces
04.12.1944 possible but unlikely - damaged on an operational sortie
05.12.1944 possible but unlikely - damaged on an operational sortie
Hope this can narrow yor search somewhat. Haven't had time to go through war diaries etc yet
Regards,
Andreas B
