Fw 190 Wk Nr 581497
I have uncovered a photo of what appears to be a captured Fw 190 coded white 11+- with the helmeted knight badge of 4./JG 4. The above number was written on the back-is it a genuine Wk Nr?

Re: Fw 190 Wk Nr 581497
You mean this one?
http://www.clubhyper.com/reference/luftcambg_5.htm The W.Nr. was supposed to be 681497. So either the 6 or the 5 is wrong - but which one? |

Thanks. My photo is from the port side and clearly shows the badge on the cowling. However, Wk Nr cannot be discerned

Hello Chris,
according to the Gen.Qu. loss report from 21 Jan 1945 the Werknummer of this Fw 190 A-8 was 681497 (weisse 11). Regards Leo |

Re: Fw 190 Wk Nr 581497
Unless I'm mistaken, the helmeted knight badge is the badge of the JG4 but not of the 4/JG4,all the Fw.190 lost coded withe white numbers are registered as part of 5(Sturm)/JG4.
like the Fw.190 A-8/R2 "white 11" wk Nr.681497 5.(Sturm)/JG4 (two MG 151+Two MK 108) lost the 01/01/45 (Gefr.Walter Wagner):several pictures in the book "chasseurs d'assaut" p.175,176. Michel |
