Re: Gerhard Vogt information please
We are talking about 2 different combats here.
The picture may depict him after he crash landed on the 5th July 1944
"On 5 July, Vogt was injured when his Fw 190 A-8 (W.Nr. 170 661) “Brown 13” hit power lines as he was attempting a crash-landing between Buré and Mele sur Sarthe following combat with Spitfires."
He was finally killed in action flying a D-9 on the 14th January 45:
"On 14 January 1945, JG 26 was ordered to engage Allied fighter-bombers harassing German ground troops in the Ardennes region. In transit to their assigned patrol zone 5./JG 26 was engaged by USAAF fighters. Vogt was shot down and killed in the ensuing combat crashing with his Fw 190 D-9 (W.Nr. 210 176) “White 13” near Köln."
Do not know if both of his wreckages were ever discovered...maybe the start of this thread do have something related to the finding or vestiges of one of those aircraft.
Yours, must humbly
