Fw200D-2b NA+WH should have been assigned to 3./KG40 iirc. Perhaps check some books, like 'Sea Eagles' series.

Was NA+WN W.Nr. 0020 D-AMHL "Pommeren"?

That would be NA+WN.

[schnellmeyer]

Hi Oberst , I think NA + WH was with 1./KG40 .
Also I thought NA + WN had the Werks Nr. 0021 ?

[Revi16]

Don't know if this is it or not, but it has an "H" under the wing.

Very nice photo indeed . But this is a C-3 model I think . I am pretty sure "NA+WH" was a C-2 model . The Condor in this photo seems to carry the codes "F8+DH" , I wonder was this Oblt.Hans Buchholz's plane that was lost on 19.5.41 ?

The photo shows Fw 200 C-3 F8+DH (W.Nr. 0031) after provisional repair of damages suffered during its belly landing at Stavanger-Sola on 2 March 1941, note the removed base pan. This aircraft was not identical to the one used by Oblt. Buchholz on 19 May 1941.

Sad to say, but any evidence is lacking so far, that the Stkz. NA+WG and NA+WH were ever assigned to Fw 200 C-2s, so that it should be unlikely finding any photo of them.

Hello,

Would this a/c,Fw 200 C-3 F8+DH (W.Nr. 0031), have been flying operational missions with 1./KG40 during the last quarter of 1940, or would it only have entered service with the unit during 1941?

Thanx,
