Information about Fw 189 A-2 codes V7+HR - 23 August 1944

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Good morning to all.

Am seeking more information regarding the Fw 189 A-2, code V7+HR that went missing on the 23 August 1944.

The pilot was Hauptmann Kurt RIBBE, the Staffelkapitän of 7(H)./32 who was killed in action. He was 32.

I do not have the werknummer (do not know if this is available at LW Loss report) or the other crewmember's names.

DE ZENG do corroborate this loss on its LW Officer's list.

MATTI,

AGAIN my gratitude for your kind help. I thought that Ribbe was the pilot...so your information was most welcomed, with the werknummer and the other crew detail.

RIBBE was born on the 31st December 1911 and was the Staffelkapitän of 7(H)./32.

AGAIN, MY GRATITUDE for your kind help.

Hello,

I think the name is Mukács Hungary (1938-1945)
now Mukatschewo Ukrainia.
