Re: Fw 190 D-9 21x 129
Something doesn't add up...
13 Feb 1945: 210129 made a belly landing at Münster Handorf on 13 Feb 1945, 20% damaged. It was with 10./JG 54 (III. Gruppe)
11 to 21 Feb 1945: a detachment of III./JG 54 was at Babenhausen. They returned north to Varrelbusch on 21 Feb 1945
Mar/Apr 1945: The aircraft was found by American troops at Babenhausen or Zellhausen. Presumably, it was part of the detachment that was sent to Babenhausen.
--> If it was indeed damaged 20% at Münster Handorf on 13 Feb 1945, I doubt that it was repaired so quickly and then flown to Babenhausen before the detachment returned on 21 Feb 1945. Also, after 13 Feb 1945 there were no missions flown from Babenhausen. It could still be that it was damaged on the ground e.g. by strafing fighters.
Could it be that the loss list recorded the W.Nr. wrongly?
