Do17 / Do217 W. Nr.1215 - info needed

[Jim P.]

Mike, any idea as to where the relic came from? Do 17 WNr. 1215 is a 'hole' in my database, but if from a loss prior to Sep-40, it's not unusual that the WNr. was not reported. On the other hand I do have a 217 loss with the same WNr. -

Do 217E-4, 1215, Heise, Ltn. Erwin, , I., I., KG 2, , , BK+ID, , 16-Oct-42, Crew killed in crash during training flight. Took off from Fl.Pl. Gilze Rijen., , Lfl.3/Kanal, Gen.Qu.6.Abt.

Hello guys,

Do 17 Werknummer 1215 was reported at Firma Anschütz at Hagenow on 27. Jul 1944. No further information. Source is a list in Ultra in Hw5/546.

At Hagenow there was a large Luftwaffe airfield. "Anschütz" is the name of a famous German manufacturer of sport-guns. Some sort of weapon-testing or a simple liason aircraft? Perhaps Nick Beale can help us with more infos from Ultra-files.

Greetings

Carl
