Re: Search for German Fighter Pilot
Hi all !
Thanks to John, Andreas and Karl,
It’s also a mystery to me ! The LB report of 9-5-44 about crash 8-5-44 and the crash site are exactly the same: name farmer, name farmhouse, address etc. and that’s the place where we did excavate and found the little plate with WN 682655. The suggestion for another Fw of II Sturm/JG4 or JG3 is not too bad so is there anyone who has more info about losses of these units ? I checked my files about the other 5 Fw sites of 14-1-45 we excavated in the past but these have other WN’s as follows: Fw 190A-9 205241 Stab/JG3 Bodo Siegfried, Fw 190A-9 205266 13/JG3 Karl Kleinemeier, Fw 190A-8/R2 682218 13/JG3 Otto Ehrhardt, Fw 190 A-8/R2 739412 15/JG3 Harry Götz and Fw 190A-8/R2 682820 14/JG3 Heinz Bake.
So in fact there is not a chance that we switched the little plates. Apart from that the notation of WN 682655 was made immediately after I found it on 21st June 1975. The other Fw 190 sites (9) we examined were not of 14-1-45 and even if they were we didn’t find WN-plates on those occasions so couldn’t have swop these. Maybe someone will find more info on 682655 to solve this mystery in due course. Thank you for your help.
Peter
