Re: Fw 200 F8+BB of KG 40
Hi, Hohentwiel
Well, chances are that it could prove difficult to find 'your' F8+BB, as the situation might well be that the loss you have seen a photographs of is one of a number of 'anonymous' losses when concerning the aircraft code. As you will notice, the only situation were the codes are mentioned in the GenQu lists are when the aircraft and crew is considered missing. The other source for codes are usually the Namentliche Verlustemeldungen. So - given that your aircraft were damaged on an airfield it would not be posted missing, and if the crew were unhurt, there will be no Namentliche Verlustemeldung. So, your only hope then would be other sources or maybe a date on the back of the photograph... And as the codes were reused - you cannot be certain that another loss for an aircraft with a known Werkenummer is the one you are looking for! Regards, Andreas |

Re: Fw 200 F8+BB of KG 40
Hi Andreas,
thank you very much for your answer. I hope it is possible to find more new informations later. I only can say that the photo was taken between 7.40 and 10.42 in Bordeaux-Merignac. The a/c flew only one mission against England before (documented at the rudder). And at 2 photos in an old Podzun-Pallas magazine (Waffenarsenal 131) we can see the nickname "Jupiter" at the nose of the F8+BB. Is this a help? Regards, Sven. |
