Help with translation?
Can anyone help translate this? Found on the back of a photo of an Fw 189 of Aufkl.Gr. 31. I believe it is an A-2. Thanks.

Re: Help with translation?
Thanks for the quick response. Sounds like it might have been a ground accident.

Chuck/Byron...
I think the word 'Maschinen' is used here to mean the aircraft itself, rather than 'engines', ie 'In one of these machines Alfred met his death'. Paul |

Re: Help with translation?
The first 2 words are der Flugplatz (the Airport) not das Flugzeug (the airplane).

Re: Help with translation?
The first line in the caption is Dno Flugplatz. This is an aircraft belonging to 1.(H)/Aufkl.Gr. 31, which was frequently based at Dno from March 43 to Jan 44:
............. 15.3.43: Fw 189 damaged by bombs during enemy air raid on Fp. Dno, 35%. 22.3.43: Fi 156 damaged by bombs during enemy air raid on Fp. Pskov, 40%. 16.4.43: Fw 189 damaged taxiing at Fp. Dno, 35%. 10.5.43: Fw 189 shot up by ground fire over Karasisha, 70%, 1 KIA and 2 WIA. 5.43: transferred to Fp. Ashevo/115 km SE of Pskov and still under NAGr. 11. 26.6.43: Ashevo - from around this date on, the Staffel’s losses were reported under the NAGr. to which it was assigned. 9.43: transferred back to Dno. 11.43: operating from Dno and Idritsa, and now under NAGr. 8. 12.43: same as for 11.43, above. 1.44: Idritsa in support of 16th Army. ..............

Re: Help with translation?
Norbert - I hope we are both looking at the same word because it sure looks like Dno to me. The history of the Staffel is a perfect fit for Dno, too.
