This is a real puzzle ..

Look at this ring: it was found by a friend of mine in a FW190 crash site near les Mureaux/Chapet/verneuil (close to Paris) and it "might" have happened on 5 July 1944 (not sure)

inside is writen "Helga 29 X 1942"

He thought of
Flugzeugführer Hans-Helmut Beitz (*) but is not sure of this.

Can anybody help put the pieces together ?

Thanks


GC

(*)
1943-09-23, 10./JG 2, FW 190A-6, 550515, Les Mureaux, 36 km nordwestlich Paris, Absturz um 13.10 Uhr beim Start und Aufschlagbrand. Bruch 100 %.
Flugzeugführer Lt Beitz, Hans-Helmut, verletzt (Lt Beitz am 1943-09-29 seinen Verletzungen erlegen) St.Désir-de-Lisieux/Frankreich, Block 1, Reihe 8, Grab 156
Thanks to Matti for this info !

Re: This is a real puzzle ..

Again one example, how reported loss locations in GQM and NVM can differ from the actual location. This is what I have:
1944-07-05, 10./JG 2, FW 190A-8/R6, 172692, Corbeilles, 30 km südlich Paris, Luftkampf um 21.00 Uhr. Bruch 99 %.

Re: This is a real puzzle ..

Yes You're right Rémi,

It depends if you consider Corbeilles in Nemours area, which is far to be only 30km from Paris, or Corbeil (Essonnes).
In that case (Corbeil, Essonnes) we can imagine the air fight occured over Corbeil and the plane crashed at Les Mureaux which was on its way back to Creil - and not that far - where the unit was based.

Of course, it wasn't the shorter way (80Km by crow flight) but better than to crash in the middle of Paris. (Les Mureaux - Creil around 45km straight line)

Regards, Franck.

Smile Re: This is a real puzzle ..

bonsoir à vous tous,

je m'appel nicolas V.,je fais de la détection de loisir,je suis aussi membre d'une association de recherche d'épaves d'avions de la 2 éme guerre qui s'appelle ANSA39/45. Je suis l'inventeur de cette bague.Je suis tombé sur ce forum en faisant quelques recherches pour approfondir mes donnés en vue d'une cérémonie un peu particulière.
Je vais essayer de faire court pour le moment,mais cette bague a été trouvé le jour de pacques 2006 après déjà plusieurs jours de recherche sur le site du crash de l'avion d'arthur pfaff. Ayant retrouvé plusieurs pièces intéressantes dont des instruments de bord,manche à balais complet,briquet de marque feudor,éléments du parachute,j'en passe et des meilleurs pour faire court.
Grande précision,l'avion tombé le 05 juillet 44 à 09h10(chronomètre montre faisant foi) en pleine foret quelques jours avant un P47 américain tombé lui le 19 août dans le mémé secteur et qui d’ailleurs par endroit c'est mélangé avec le FW 190.Le problème dans cette affaire est que l'avion allemand personne ne connaissaient son existence au contraire de l'américain,qui lui fut enterrer dans le cimetière de la commune avant d'aller à st laurent. D’ailleur,ce 05 juin 2011,une stèle fut inaugurer en la présence du frère du pilote,dont j'ai put lui donner le système de verrouillage du harnais du parachute,à son fils le chronomètre montre(lui aussi arrêter à 09h10) et à son petit fils les quelques pièces de monnaies trouvées sur le même site que les éléments métalliques des tenues de vol du pilote.
Bref!je vous informe aussi,que ce 22,23 février et si tout va bien, après plusieurs années de recherches, via plusieurs personnes que je ne connait pas mais que je remercie beaucoup pour le temps passer à faire des recherches,que le FILS du pilote ARTHUR PFAFF doit venir ce recueillir sur la tombe de son père,car avant peu il ne connaissait pas l'histoire de son père ni le lieu de sa tombe,de même qu'il va se déplacer jusque sur les lieux du crash et enfin je pourrais lui remettre ainsi cette fameuse alliance.Il pourra peu être la montrer aussi à sa mère,la dite HELGA qui vit encore à l'age de 92 ans en autriche et qui a déjà vue par photo interposée la bague quelle a elle même passé au doigt de son mari en 44(parait-il qu'elle a fondue en larme malgré son état)
En attendant que je reprenne le chemin de ce forum pour donner de plus amples infos si possible,je vous souhaite une très bonne soirée

Very surprising to find out a FW 190 and a P-47 together in a haystack. Congratulation for this moving ending.

Re: This is a real puzzle ..

Good evening to you all, I call Nicolas V., I am detecting hobby, I am also a member of an association of research aircraft wrecks the 2 nd war called ANSA39/45. I am the inventor of this bague.Je came across this forum doing some research to deepen my data for a particular ceremony a bit. I'll try to keep it short for now, but this ring was found easter day 2006 after several days of research already on the site of the plane crash arthur pfaff. Having found several interesting pieces including instrument panel, Joystick complete Feudor lighter brand, elements of the parachute, and so on of the best for short. Grande accuracy, plane crash July 5, 44 at 9:10 ( authentic chronometer watch) in full drill a few days before he fell P47 U.S. on August 19 in the granny sector and also in places it is mixed with the FW 190.Le problem in this case is that the German aircraft nobody knew of its existence in contrast to the U.S., which was buried in the cemetery of the town before going to st laurent. BTW, this 05 June 2011, a monument was inaugurated in the presence of the brother of the driver, which I could give him the lock of the parachute harness, his son the timer clock (also stop at 9:10) and his little son a few coins found on the same site as the metal elements held in the pilot's. Anyway, I also inform you that this February 22.23 and if all goes well, after several years of research through several people I do not know but I very much time to spend doing research, that the SON ARTHUR driver PFAFF this should come visit the grave of his father, because before long he did not know the story of his father or the place of his grave, and it will move onto the crash site and then I could give him and the famous alliance.Il may just be the show as her mother, said HELGA who still lives at the age of 92 years in Austria and has already view the Photo proxy ring which has itself passed the finger of her husband 44 (it seems she melted into tears despite his condition) in until I resume the path of this forum to give more info if possible, I wish you a good evening
