Hello Snautzer,
Post #1389 - Unless I am mistake, this is the often-photographed Hs 129 B-2 (WNr. 141407) St.Kz. PH+UQ, probably from Fliegerzielgeschwader 3, and found abandoned damaged at Frankfurt-Rebstock after 45/05/08.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin

Hello Steve,

Could you tell us why you think that this Hs 129 may have belonged to Fliegerzielgeschwader 3? Is it based on the location or on loss lists?

I. and II. Gruppe were disbanded in September 1944. III. Gruppe became 1. - 3./Fliegerzielgruppe IV in June 1944, which itself was disbanded in Feb 1945 at Schongau. Schongau is ca. 300-400km from Frankfurt.

Best regards,

Roger

I have hard time understanding why would a gasoline guzzling Hs 129 be used for target towing? I am curious to see the source of the statement.
