Some parts of Fw 190
During exploration near Szczebrzeszyn (SE of Lublin, Poland, nearby ex luftwaffe airfield in Klemensów) I' ve found some parts of plane that had crashed here in summer of '44. Residents I' ve talked with were sure that it was German plane shot down by russian fighter. After receiving some hits german plane turned into a ball of flame, made a 3/4 of circle, and crushed into a gulley in nearbay coppice (pilot died in flames). Few years ago elements of plane such as wing, engine, gauges etc has been sold, so, excluding very lovable people ( ;-) ), I' ve nothing in local households. My metal detector found only small piece of that bird. I' m not sure it is Fw 190 but one of witnesses told me plane had one, round (that mean radial) engine so it could be truth. As I lend my camera I've got only paint pictures. One of the elements is especially interesting but it's bent and rusty.
Any ideas?
I also wonder which unit was this plane from. It's hard to outgess and I have no archive files. Could someone help?
