Focke Wulf Fw 190 identity
Those two photos were taken by an american soldier in March 1945 in the Remagen area.
The aircraft was shot down 10th March 1945. Any Information about the aircraft, unit and fate of the Pilot? Thanks for your help. Infos to Uwe Benkel - mu.benkel@t-online.de Last edited by Uwe Benkel; 1st January 2021 at 19:06. |

Re: Focke Wulf Fw 190 identity
I'm seeing 60662. Am I reading that right?

Re: Focke Wulf Fw 190 identity
The numbering style points to Nachtschlachtgruppe 20. They flew in March night attacks on the Remagen bridge.

Re: Focke Wulf Fw 190 identity
I make the W.Nr. 160662 (the first digit is very faint), so it could be a G-3, of which NSGr. 20 still had some. As interesting though is that Ju 87, and a possible second one, under the trees in the background. You can just see the exhaust flame suppressor, so it's from either NSGr. 1 or 2 (if we definitely are in Western Germany). I can't see a wing cannon, so it should be a D-3. IIRC these units never shared a base with NSGr. 20 but that doesn't preclude an Fw 190 landing at one of their airfields od course.

Re: Focke Wulf Fw 190 identity
Hello Dirk,
there is no connection with the initially inquiry. According to the Luftwaffe Kracker database Lt Helmut Becker was KIA on 12 March 1945. He was shot down by friendly AAfire, crashed at Kripp southeast of Remagen and was buried in Bodendorf. He flew the Fw 190 D-9 600662 black 18. Regards Leo |

Re: Focke Wulf Fw 190 identity
Reviving an old thread … On 17 October 1944, the Ergänzungsstaffel (Nacht) of III./KG 51 reported "160896, 160384, 760622, change of wings in factory" (source: ULTRA CX/MSS/R341(A)53).
On 21 August, W.Nr. 160(fair indications 6)22 had been in strength with the same Staffel (CX/MSS/T287/103). AFAIK, 760622 wasn't a valid Fw 190 Werk Nummer, so I strongly suspect it should have been 160622, the aircraft on the photo. |
