Re: Attack on Eger/Cheb April 1945
I thought all of this was discussed fairly extensively on LEMB over 7 years ago:
David Brown at that time posted this listing:
-- Photos 1 & 2: The aircraft pictured here is not an He177 but in fact the extremely rare four-engined He277. Only 11 were built. This aircraft is either the He219V-1 or He219V-2 with the single large fin.
-- Photos 3, 16 &17: Another He277. This one has remnants of the twin tail and indicates either the He219V-3, or one of the eight He219A-1 production aircraft.
-- Photos 10 &18: From left to right: He219V-23, DV+BQ, WNr.190??? - He219, WNr.unknown - He219, WNr.190223 - He219, WNr.190188. I assume that these are from the Fw190 werknummersies based on comparison of similarly coded and camouflaged He219s.
-- Photo 11: He219, WNr. unknown.
-- Photo 12: He219, WNr.190223.
-- Photo 13: He219, WNr.190188.
-- Photo 14: Me262A, WNr. unknown.
-- Photos 19 & 20: He219V-23, DV+BQ, WNr.190???. The two Me262 fuselages are unmarked (no Werknummern) and are definitely Me262A-1/U3s.
-- Photo 21: He219, WNr. unknown. The Me262 fuselages is unmarked (no Werknummern) and is definitely a Me262A-1/U3. No information on the Fw190A.
-- Photo 22: He219, WNr.190223. The two Me262 fuselages are unmarked (no Werknummern) and are definitely Me262A-1/U3s.
-- Photos 23, 24 & 25: Look like the wings from Si204s?
-- Photo 26 & 27: Fuselages are from He177A-0s.
And Marcel added this:
Photos 10 &18: From left to right:
He219V23, DV+BQ, WNr.190??? According to my incomplete He219 Wnr. database, the 3rd font of all He219's with Stammkennzeichen DV+.. started with a D, rather than a B. I do have He219's ranging from DV+DB up to DV+DL (some Stkz. missing).
He219, WNr.190223 This one was new for me, I stored this one in my database
He219, WNr.190188. This He219 went down on 5/6 June 1944 over Holland [source: Namentliche Verlustmeldung - which could be wrong] so it here remains a question mark.
