FW200 in Fligierhorst Wormditt?

[Robcio]

Hello.

Please help in getting information about the aircraft from KG 40 III.KG40 in particular, which were stationed at Fliegerhorst Wormditt (05 - 06 1944). Today, the city is called Orneta (Poland)
Perhaps one of the planes KG 40 could break down or was shot down in the area of the Luftwaffe in Wormditt Fliegerhorst (14 km southeast of Wormditt).
At this point, I have found the remains of the plane that I can not identify. On the plane that were probably used BMW engines Gate Fafnir 323R-2 (found characteristic exhaust silencers - picture attached), had weapons MG 131, MG 151/20 (13mm, 20mm shells of the bullets found), AAG2 antenna system.
You probably have a radar system, unless FUG…… (found remains of the antenna).
Thank you in advance for your help
Regards, Robert
