8./SG 3 loss - 24th April 1944
Can someone points me out to the werknummer and codes of the Fw 190 F (or was it a type A) flown by Uffz Lother Darsow, from 8./SG 3, killed on the 24th April 1944 to the SW of Sevastopol, apparently by a direct hit of Russian AA (Flak).
My gratitude A. |

Hi!
To know the Wr. Number from you'r F190. The first attack modification with production deliveries to Luftwaffe at the end of 1942 Fw-190F-1 (about 30 airplanes) Build - version of the production fighter Fw-190A-5/U3 in turn basing model Fw-190А-4, but equipped a reinforced landing gear, additional armouring. Then models Fw-190F-2 with the improved cabin (271 airplanes) Build... Fw-190F-3 with the changed design of a wing (about 250 airplanes) Build Fw-190F-8 on basis Fw-190A-7 (385 airplanes)Build. So here a Total amount of 936 Fw190F version was Build! Ok? Now to identify you'r unit plane. from 8/SG3. the history it say: First information found Quote:
And here the 8./SG3. was sub unit from III/ SG3. ok? https://www.ww2.dk/air/attack/sg3.htm and you'r information: Quote:
So it possible as Quote:
now next information: Quote:
But: Quote:
So to Darsow plane, it can are Old Ju87 plane, or coming yes from First March Month production from Arado Werk. http://fw190.hobbyvista.com/werkn.htm look here under Werk. Number 588000 = Arado factory number for production of FW 190 F8. https://englishrussia.com/2014/03/19...pol-in-photos/ here photo from one FW 190 Shot down on airfield from Chersonese. Shot down from Soviet Aviation not from Flak unit. Nothing information about real date, if this was 24 April, or any day before. And on this same date 24 April, Soviet Marine enter in port of Sebastopol, so if realy shot down fron Flak unit, so why not from Flak unit from Ship....

Leclerc - very good analytic conclusion.
MATTI - Again my deepest gratitude for clarifying and the most relevant information I was looking for. I thought it was an old Fw 190 F version that he was flying on that fateful day. Thanks Matti we do have the werknummer, codes and type of machine flown. Adriano |

Hey Adriano
You forgot to give Mattis his usual beer. I think we all owe him so much that he can start up his own restaurant in Tampere and just use what we supply him with.... (Sorry Matti, just couldn't resist..... ) Cheers Stig Last edited by Stig Jarlevik; 8th April 2022 at 22:48. |

Yes, one more beer....guess that the Bear he will put aside at this time of the year.
If he comes to Brazil, he will drink freely during his stay here, be sure of that. Good one Stig and I laughed a lot here....you surely are counting those beers...and if you come along we will drink together. Cheerio Adriano |

Just been to Brasil once, not counting a cruise stop, and remember so well an ice cold Caipirinha in the middle of the Amazon region on a big raft in one of the tributary rivers. We stayed there for three nights.... Cheers Stig |

Re: 8./SG 3 loss - 24th April 1944
Stig,
Am really happy that you have been there and to Amazony. I flew for some 5-6 months there when I was with Fugro Airborne Survey, a Dutch company that works with Surveys around the world. Good times...flights by the middle of night until the morning. On several nice flights up the middle of the Amazon Forest, we could count hundreds of falling stars, when the sky was clear. Good memories. But I also do have good memories from England, including the White clifs of Dover that will remain in my mind for the eternity. I went twice in June-July and boy, for our standards here, the Channel waters were really COLD. I just can not imagine what those RAF and LW boys had to face on ditchings during the winter or autumn times...if I feel cold in early July! And your ALE...we could drink one full life and not taste all brands you do have....and they are tasty...I now understand why the Englander had to pass on the Pub before going home....One do have to feel that to comprehend.... Next time you do come, do send me a message...we surely will meet... Friendly yours, Adriano |

Re: 8./SG 3 loss - 24th April 1944
Indeed Adriano
I have also fond memories of England. Must have been there more than 20 times. Once it even felt like a second home to me. To be honest, it still does!! Good ale indeed and if you can find those Pubs who are run independently so much the better. We better stop here unless we get scolded by our Moderators.... Cheers Old Boy Stig |
