Re: Ju 188 W.Nr. 190329

I can only add that this aircraft was one of 62 similar Ju 188A-3 torpedo-aircraft produced under licence by Siebel Flugzeugwerke Halle in the summer and autumn of 1944. Most of these aircraft ended up in the III./K.G.26. From 7. July 1944 to 31. July 1944 this unit received 26 Ju 188A-3 aircraft. At the time of the capitulation in May 1945, this unit was located at Vaernes and Gardermoen airifelds in Norway and a total of 32 Ju 188A-3 aircraft ended up in the hands of RAF Aircraft Disarmament Squadron in this country. 190329 was NOT among them and had probably been flown sout-east to assist in the Kurland evacuation.
