On a wrecked German plane. Marks and camouflage style suggests that the plane is the most probably a Focke-Wulf 190A-8. It could also be model A-7 or F-8. The A-8 version, was the most produced fighter and was in service from the Spring 1944 until the end of war. This plane appears to be Blue 5 from I Gruppe (Group). "Crashed Enemy Aircraft Report Serial No. 253" from 20th September 1944 reports a "Fw 190 founded near Les Veys, 5+(blue), BMW 801, No. 310383, had carried 4 x 20 mm and 2 x 13 mm guns". About the same time, the 999th was moving from Cherbourg to Versailles and may have passed near Le Mays. There is a some probability that the plane is the same machine.
