According to the information from my colleague, it is a smaller museum, reminiscent of our Vyškov. Aircraft and technology.
Very nice is the wreckage of the FW-190F
Under the torso of the machine there is a sign with the inscription
(Saper translation)
The remains of this FW-190F-3 were loaned in 1997 at the behest of the BBG through members of our association from the ruins of the former Finsterwalde military airfield.
One production plate found on the undercarriage gave us the first information about this aircraft: the manufacturer's codes
From witness statements it turns out the following: the so-called Hangar 7 was the shipyard of the Feinsterwald airfield during the war. In November 1944, part of Schlachtgeschwader 9 was located at Feinsterwald due to the rearmament to the FW-190F type. Other units, such as the flight school, also used the airfield until the spring of 1945. When the Red Army approached Feinsterwalde in April 1945, all the halls were ready to be blown up.
On 20 April 1945, however, only the shipyard hall was blown up, and the exposed aircraft was buried under its ruins.
