Fhnr Thiessen Otto Operation Bodenplatte

[Moonraker]

During Operation Bodenplatte a Fw-190 A-8 from 2./JG27 made a forced landing near Brussels , Fhnr Thiessen Otto became a POW. Can someone help me with the werknumber off this FWw-190 ?

Mookraker:

I note several posts by you secking information on losses during Operation Bodenplatte. If you seek more information on this I suggest you consult the book, Bodenplatte, by John Manrho. It is by far the best source for this information.
