Welcome.



Referring to post No. 16 dated 25.05.2013 - Flugplatz Wormiditt:
" The second fell in the vicinity of Lubomino / ARNSDORF (5km south), 15km southeast of the airport Wormditt. Right between the villages of PETERSDORF and SCHWENKITTEN, Near Lake Tonka / DITTRICHSDORFER SEA. Was passed, it may be Ju88, He 117
My assumption may be misleading. "
After the identification part of the remains of the aircraft, we believe</SPAN> that this was the plane He 177.
The confirmation of the data that these aircraft were operated by KG1. This unit was based in East Prussia:
1. Stab KG1: 06/08/1944 - 07/21/1944 Prowehren
07.21.1944 - 08.1944 Seerappen

2. 2/KG 1: 08.06.1944 - 08.1944 Prowehren

Data from: http://www.feldgrau.com/KG1.htm

During this period, aircraft and stick KG1 2/KG1 engaged in raids on important facilities in Russia. Perhaps their flight route can be ran near Wormditt.

With Prowehren to Wormditt is about 60 km.


Please kindly help in obtaining information about falls this aircraft He 177
Today, Wormditt (East Prussia) is named Orneta (Poland).
Thanks in advance for your help
