Re: Captured Ju 88 Ju-188D-1, W.Nr.0579, ex 8H-OH of 1/AufklGr33
Good question. Ju 188 D-2 0579 8H+OH (likely W.Nr. 150579) was captured (if I remember correctly) in North-Germany (Leck) but likely suffered gear collapse on taxying. It is partly covered in book "Warprises" by Phil Butler (and abowe image is published there too). Two more images of this same aircraft appeared recently on eBay, and they show it was gutted and looted at that very spot shown pictured in abowe thread (i.e. not repaired). This same code and W.Nr. were used on the Matchbox 1:72 Ju 188 F-1 kit.
