Re: Lt. Herbert Abendroth, 9./JG 77
To be honest I have no idea. The point is that well known picture of "weisse 1" was attributed to Wnr. 330204 based on a difficult to read loss report of Lt. Abendroth. On first glance it seems the loss report indicates "weisse 1" and therefore it was concluded in the past that the well known "weisse 1" was identical to the a/c flown by Lt. Abenroth on 1.1.45, being 330204.
However, after carefull examining one can see that the loss report of Abendroth says he flew "weisse 13" and therefore 330204 = "weisse 13" and not "weisse 1". This is confirmed by the picture I published, another loss report and RAF intelligence reports on crashed enemy a/c.
So what is the werknummer of weisse 1? I don't know....some say it was Hptm. Menzel, St.Kap. of 9./JG 77.
Cheers,
John.
