Re: Me-410 "U5+KG" werk nummer confirmation
Good Evening,
The original documents of the losses of the "KG"s are found online in the Bundesarchiv in
1. RL 2-III/1191 p. 0126 which gives 238, and
2. RL 2-III.1194 p. 0131 which gives 10185.
For some reason the clerk lists far fewer numbers in the werknummern than other types. A survey of RL 2-III/1190 through 1194 covering the period from 1 July 1943 to 27 October 1943 reveals 67 losses (10%-100%) of Me 410s by V/KG 2. One is two digits (RL 2-III/1193 p. 0168), 36 are three digits, 8 are four digits and 23 are five digits. None indicate either a 210xxx or 410xxx werknummer.
Hopefully there is factory documentation of both series.
Best regards,
Jim
P.S. In RL 2-III/1194 p.0116 III/ZG 1 lost a 420025 and on p. 0151 a 410096.
