Re: Belly landed Fw 190 at Fürth May 1945
Hello everyone,
Unless I am mistaken, I believe that the Werknummer I posted is correct. I have other photos of it where the number is visible. Since my wife passed away, many of my photos have gone into storage and I am unable to put my hands on them immediately. I will try to dig them out—however, since I lack a scanner or the knowledge to post them anyway—posting them for everyone is problematic.
As to the aircraft with the white BMW 801D Motornummer 32377x visible on its lower oil cooler ring and being dragged near some buildings, I believe that is the same one.
I also think that it was likely from one of the SG units fleeing westward. There are several examples of Fw 190 A’s operating with SG units, especially by commanders.
Kutscha, are you suggesting that the aircraft in question has the flatter gun cover of MG17’s? To my eyes, it clearly has the bulged MG131cover. It also features 4xMG151 wing cannon and a right-wingtip-mounted pitot tube as found on an Fw 190 A-8 or F-8.
