Re: Fw-190 A-7 werknumber 431185
Hello Rémi,
I assume you are not drunk! In fact, you are right to point out the case of Willand which is quite problematic.
In various documents, it is said he crashed near Houx, Belgium "(Aufschlag bei Houx (Dinant))". In fact, he was rightly buried in Houx but not lost in that area as stated. He seems to have crashed near Justine (Rethel) in France as it appears in "La Guerre aérienne au-dessus du département des Ardennes Vol. 2" by French researcher Pierre Roger but quoted buried at Noyers-Pont-Maugis cemetery. So the truth is between that! Crashed in France but buried in Belgium?
Moreover the WNr. I have for Willand is 157378, so it adds to the confusion!
The Ju 52 lost on the 29/01/44 near Stoumont carried personal from KG 6 and KG 77 (for rest and releave?). A casualty is Gefr. Karl WIEGAND from 12./JG 6(sic?), probably the man quoted by Alain. Rémi, can you confirm his ID and unit (most probably KG 6)?
Best regards
Nicolas
