Re: Information sort on Fw Helmut Lußky - flier with 3.ZG1
The W. Nr. stays with the airframe, wherever it goes.
80% damaged might mean a lot of components were considered written off by the unit (Wings, engines,) but if enough remained to repair and refit, it would then go out to a front-line unit again with the same W. Nr.. From what I have discovered, very rarely do they go back to the same unit - simply sent to units needing replacements.
So it could have initially have been with a different unit, then damaged, then issued to ZG 1.
