Re: Unknown label from a Luftwaffe crash site

Look for some cast pieces of alloy (not engine) and look for the marking:

R8-

If that is followed by a number, this will be the aircraft type; eg 87, 88, 109, 110.....etc etc etc.

If you find any numbers on egine casting, that might help. EG; 601, 605, 211 etc etc.

Re: Unknown label from a Luftwaffe crash site

Finally we returned yesterday to this crash site. We find a label:

StL 131/5 C/R
Bauart: Gerat-Nr102-407 C/R
Werk-Nr 6392
Anforderz. Fl 204946
Hersteller: cpq


Some idea about this label?

We also find a part of engine with number:

601.329.002 C4 EZ2


Some idea?

We also find a part with a logo and print 3.35. Some idea about logo?



In the crash we not find any bullets, find some fragment of camera film and some part of wood painted of green colour.

Some idea about airplane????

Re: Unknown label from a Luftwaffe crash site

601 means you are dealing with a DB 601
but as it is not my strong point i cannot tell you from what plane maybe the specialists?

Re: Unknown label from a Luftwaffe crash site

the FL204946 is machinegewehr-lafette for MG 131
so i think it will be a plane with heavy machineguns coz 131 is not a small one
hope this will help? cheers
