Re: He 111P, WNr 1595

Hi Anton,

I live in Canada, but never mind. The photo of the plate cannot be misidentified, since:

NDW. He 111P
549 WNr. 1595
11 108-30 R
...1 5 39 is clearly visible.
(where I assume 39 is the production year, NDW is the factory) -

So don't have to question that this was an early 'P' version, regardless of the late, 1945 date. Rumanian and Hungarian air forces used many-many old planes even at the very end of the war, so an old version in 1945 still doesn't mean ANYthing. Especially in a field, where more dozens of unrepairable Hungarian planes were destroyed by the Axis forces in front of the advancing Soviet troops. Nobody said that this guy belonged to the Luftwaffe...!
