The were only four Me 262 in Erfurt - 110722, 110911, 111614 and 500053, so Erfurt may be wrong for 111691.

FWIW, the Fw 190 photos have all been published in WOTBC, so they are known.

Many thanks, Heuser. I wasn't aware of the exact location nor that some of the W.Nr.'s were documented.

Cheers

Thank You Heuser.

We just have to hope the listed "G" were, effectively, "G" subtype leaving only one K-4 .. if not ...

Thank you too for Erfurt listing.

Cheers,
Franck.

Franck, there are some "if'"; there is no visible Werknummer on these fotos nor an exact location, but mentioned one are from CEAR No. 269, dated 30.03.1945.

Well - AFAIK, the Alliied have identified K-4's as such in only a very few cases, often these are mentioned as G-6, G-10 or G-14 in the CEAR and Technical Intelligence Reports known to me.
I assume that the K-4 did not have a identification plate as known from older versions. A positive identification is only possible if the Werkummer is listed in these reports. F.e., there are 17 Werknummern of K-4s in a Report of Wertheim a/f , al listed as G-14.

Heuser
