Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Marc-André—

Thank you for your comments regarding the Ju 88G-6 WNr. 620 742. I am wondering about the location of the aircraft, however. You have indicated Fritzlar, Germany.

I've checked USSTAF Technical Intelligence Report, A-338, for the inspection of Fritzlar on 8-9 April 1945. This inspection report states that 13 fairly intact aircraft were found, 11 of which were Bf 110s, one a Fi 156, and one a Ju 87. No Ju 88s were included in the report.

Got any ideas about this? It's a bit of a puzzle, as Fritzlar was a highly active NJG 1 base towards the end of the war. You would have thought, however, that the U.S. inspection would have found the G 9 + FT if it were there.

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Jim,

Delighted to hear from you. Hope all is well.

Regarding your post, I wonder if this machine (and others) was flown in to Fritzlar on May 8th, about a month after US forces occupied the airfield.

Cheers

David

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello David,

All is well, indeed. It is good to hear from you.

If you are referring to the Me 262 in post # 2686, as far as I know, this is the A-1a W.Nr. 500210 "Yellow 17" of 3./JG 7 that was flown by Ltn. Hans Dorn into Fassberg on 8 May 1945 and surrendered to the British. On 27 May 1945 it was flown by F/Lt. Clive Gosling of 616 RAF Squadron, along with W/C. E.E. Warren Schrader in W.Nr. 110800 "White 7" to Schleswig-Land. On 29 May they proceeded to Lübeck-Blankensee where Schrader 'pranged' the "White 7".

I suspect the writing on the nacelle is "616F".

best regards,

Jim

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello everyone,I wonder if the numerals painted on the cowling could be the last four of the aircraft’s Werknummer, or it’s Jumo 004 Motornummer. The Jumo 004’s that I have documented so far have MNrn. in the form of three digits that identify the producer, followed by “301,” then the actual four-digit MNr. Example: 100 3011155 as mounted on an Ar 234 B-1.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
