Origin of W.Nr. lists?
Hi Seeplanes,
Thanks to some fellow Norwegian LW enthusiasts I have W.Nr. lists for 5, 8 and 10 May 1945, however nothing about the fate of the aircraft (like: scrapped at Forus...). A huge thanks to you!
As I would include the W.Nr. lists in the reference section of my book (I./KG66's unit history) as an official source, can anybody out here help with the following questions?
1. What's the origin of these W.Nr. lists, German/British/Norwegian?
2. Do the lists have an official document/file number and in which archive (BAMA/National Archives/Riksarkivet?) are they stored?
3. I'm unfortunately assuming that there is no cross reference between the aircraft kennzeichen (e.g. Z6+IH) and the W.Nr. in the document....?! No details like aircraft numbers, special markings etc. were included in the list?
BTW: The Ju 188S-5 sounds like a rare bird indeed. Anybody got an idea what this subtype looked like? (Again assuming that there is no further info/photos of this aircraft from Sola...Otherwise it would have been included in the book about Stavanger, I think!)
P.S. Some 8 aircraft landed at Dedelstorf or in the Dedelstorf area on the 8th of May 1945: Some Ju 88S-3's, at least 1 Ju 188 and at least 2 Ju 88G-6's.
Regards,
Marcel
