Wreck
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.
