Re: Interesting shots of a crashed Fw 200 of KG 40, 1945

Super photos !
This Fw200 started at Micheldorf /Austria on 5th of May 1945 and made an emergency landing near Böllstein (near Bad König, Odenwald). The crew wanted to escape to Northern Germany, but received flak hits when flying over a bridge near Braunau (one engine got out of action)
A member of the crew, ex Uffz Eberhard Schmidt describes this in Luftwaffen Revue 2012, vol.3. Pilot was Uffz Karl-Heinz Friebel. Further people on board were at least Uffz Heinz Kirchoff and two women.

Regards, Karl
