I'm working on a listing of all museums with German WW2 equipment.
The info I have so far is published here: http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/museums.htm

Any additional info on related museums and/or memorials would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Complementing Marcus Wendel's <U>Museums & Memorials</U> page on his Third Reich Factbook website is Mikael Olrog's Preserved Axis Aircraft Throughout the World website.

Where the museums and memorials page looks at these facilities country by country, noting the aircraft in each museum or memorial, Mikael's website organizes by type of aircraft, engine, or missile, noting at which museums or other facility these are located at.

The address for Mikael's website is: http://www.axisaircraft.com

Peter Evans' Luftwaffe Experten Mailing List website has a Worldwide Captive Luftwaffe webpage listing, by aircraft type, Luftwaffe aircraft in museums or other facilities around the world. In this regard, the listing is very similar to that provided in Mikael Olrog's Preserved Axis Aircraft Throughout the World website. The URL for the Worldwide Captive Luftwaffe webpage is:

The Hugo Junkers Homepage by Horst Zoeller presents information and photos of Remaining Junkers Aircraft Worldwide, including engines. There are numerous photos of Junkers aircraft and engines both in museums and at crash sites, some of them under water. The website URL is:

The RAF Museum in England has a FW190F-8/U1 two seat trainer on display.

The website A Detailed Look At The Messerschmitt Bf109, by Matt C. Bole, presents exhaustive coverage of the Bf 109. The URL is:


http://members.aol.com/bf109gust/


Of particular interest to the preserved aircraft aficionado is an extensive listing of surviving Bf 109's, HA-1112's, and CS-199's.

No persons killed during the crash? If so check the website of the Volksbund. A Major Reicherzer was killed at June 12th, 1944. For PoW check the PRO in London also
they have info about crashed planes in the UK.

Willy,

This is the Fw 190 that is at the Imperial War Museum in London. It has since been removed from floor display and now hangs from the ceiling on the main floor.

There was a site from the british owners of a Fw-189 being restored in Czech Republic. Their URL was www.fockewulf189.com (http://www.fockewulf189.com) but it appears to be a dead one...

Here are a few sites which may help.

The Fw-189 is now being restored by Flug Werks in Munich. Restoration started about 2 months ago and the plan calls for the first flight to take place the end of 2002.
