Shot down during Operation Bodenplatte (1-1-45) by Polish Spitfires. Pilot Paul Drutschmann, 9 JG54 bailed out and was captured. Drutschmann passed away in 2000, and the man in the denim jacket is his grandson. The wreck has been recovered for preservation and some parts are being used for a very long-term restoration of an airworthy D-9 using a FlugWerk replica airframe.
This is a recovery, not exactly an archaeological dig (though archaeological digs are sometimes conducted for aircraft.)

Digs like this are still treacherous with ammo an even volatile fuel sometimes remaining--not to mention the risk of soil collapse from the depth.

Awesome video, are the remains of a warrior from the past who came to the fore again, congratulations to all pilots who fought bravely lutfwaffe and gave their lives for their nation.
Only the A Team members could reassemble that plane- and only if they were in a very tight spot and needed the plane to escape in. Except that BA, of course, refuses to fly- so I suppose Murdock would have to fly it- on his own- and he's mad- which could be a problem.
The story of Paul Drutschmann's Fw190D-9 is on the BAHAAT website. He was part of the the Operation Bodenplatte on 1-1-45 from 9./JG54 and was shot down by Polish pilots from 131 Wing flying Spitfires. Drutschmann bailed out and the plane crashed into a marshy area and he surrendered to Private Jozef De Munck. Drutschmann passed away in 2000 and the plane was recovered to be rebuilt (very slow project.) Drutschmann's grandson is in the denim jacket and looks just like him.

In essence, each opposing cylinder in the vee is in alignment and this reduces vibrations and loads on the crankshaft. It also shortens the overall length of the engine adding a weight-savings advantage.
@seapeddler Every Merlin I have seen had overhead cams and 4 valves per cylinder. By definition F head means the intake valve is in the cylinder head and the exhaust valve in th block like a flat head. Some models of Jeeps and some of the older Rolls/Royce auto's used F head engines.
Read about fork-and-blade connecting rod design and the benefits of cylinder placement that reduces crankshaft loads and creates a smooth-running engine. It was used on the Merlin engine as well.
Der ist ja dumm im video, er sagt es ist besser damit zu leben zu wenn der Opa niemanden getötet hat, der opa war PILOT er hat GEGNER abschossen,was meint der idiot im Video den womit die geschossen haben? Etwa mit Farbe ???
So ein idiot...der urenkel echt. Der sollte lieber stolz sein das sein Opa für IDEALE gekämpft hat.
@flex2000watt Der ist froh, dass sein Opa nicht "für seine Ideale" einen umgenietet hat, nachdem er abgeschossen wurde und einer Übermacht von Gegnern gegenüberstand. Wie es ihm befohlen war.
Ferner sind die IDEALE des 3. Reichs (Massenmord, Landraub, staatlicher Terror) schon fragwürdig.
@Waldloewe nur dass das was du anführst nicht die ideale sind an welche mein opa glaubte, sondern das was man den naiven lämmern eintrichtert, wie man an deinem beispiel sehr gut sehen kann.
Eine lüge wird nicht zur wahrheit nur weil sie 500 mal wiederholt wird. Siegermächte machen geschichte, sollte jeder wissen.
@flex2000watt Eine andere Zeitzeugin hat sich ihr ganzes über 80-jähriges Leben gegrämt, dass sie den Deportierten Juden, die auf einer nahegelegenen Bahnlinie liegenbeblieben waren, nichts zu Essen und zu Trinken gebracht hat. Die Menschen sind dort jämmerlich verreckt. Keine Sau hat's interessiert. Die Dorfbewohner haben sogar noch die Waggons weggeschoben, weil die Menschen drin zu laut gejammert haben, nach einer Woche ohne Wasser.
@flex2000watt Ein paar Dörfer weiter war im 3. Reich eine "Station" für junge Mädchen und Frauen, die nach Deutschland zur Zwangsarbeit verschleppt wurden, von ihren "arischen" Sklavenhaltern vergewaltigt und anschließend schwanger wurden. Man hat sie dort entbinden lassen. Erklärtes Ziel war, dass das unreine Balg innerhalb der ersten Monate stirbt. Die Erfolgsquote lag bei annähernd 100%. Lesen Sie mal in "Mein Kampf" über "Lebensraum im Osten" Und dann hören Sie auf, dumm rumzublöken.
The aircraft crashed into marshy, soft land after the pilot bailed out. It's not uncommon for the wreckage to be buried several meters deep for high-speed or steep impacts.
Great video. I don't speak the Belgian language on this video. Could someone do english subtitles. Fasciniating as the comments posted give me the historical information. That is something a Jumo engine used. Must have been a good sized plane as they tried to use those in some ME109's in Israel after the war with some bad side effects. Thanks all.
Yes, it was a heavy engine. If you look up the Flug-Werk site they've built a FW190D-9 replica using a Merlin engine iirc. To get the CG right, they had to build a 800 kg overweight engine mount for it!
Kurt Tank who designed the 190, always wanted the Daimler Benz 600 series engine but was denied access because the RLM had decided it was to be produced for the 109 only. He came close to realizing his dream with the FW Ta152C but at that time it was too late for Germany.
Correct. The final evolution of the Fw190 was the D series "Dora", which used a Jumo 213 V12 engine more commonly found on Ju88 bombers--partly due to the DB engines being used for other fighters. This was to create a high-altitude fighter. All D-series used the Jumo engine except for the D14/D15 which used the DB603 engine (though not many D14/D15 were produced.) The Fw190C prototype also used the DB603 engine and was a testbed for the new-design Ta152.
Der Enkel eben ein politisch-korrektes entheroisiertes BRD Exemplar,Feiglinge werden zu Helden ,Helden zu Mörder.Wenn man an all die massakrierten deutschen Frauen und Kinder in Ost und West denkt,Deutschlands Nachkriegsbehandlung betrachtet,die deutschen Helden die bis zum Ende alles für ihr Volk gaben,kann einem bei dem Lumpenbengel die Wut hochkochen.Schamhaft,Ekeleregend,Würdelos,ein Musterdemokrat..
if i had the money i'd do something like that too. Im sure russia is littered with focke wulfs and messerschmitts, its just finding them is the hard part and finding out if their even in good condition.
well, the FW 190 Dora and others tried to catch the Allied pilots on the ground on New Years day 1945 Operation Bodenplaats, inc these Polish Spitfires, this 190D got shot down pilot parachuted to safety and was made a POW
and plane dug up bits being used in a new build 190 so no grave robbing
No, the Jumo V12 was not a diesel. This is the D-9 series Fw190. All D series planes from the D-9 to the D-15 had the radial engine replaced with an inverted Jumo 213 V12, with a few having the DB 603 V12. Few D13, D14, and D15 were produced and only one D13 survives today, along with 2 original D-9s.
Der Enkel ist vielleicht lustig!! Was heisst hier,ich bin froh dass Er kein Held war!!?? Wäre besser gewesen er hätte die Spitfire abgehängt,oder abgeschossen! Denn um ein Haar wäre Er drauf gegangen! Was ist hier bitte besser?? Es war Krieg! Er kämpfte für sein Land,dass auch seins ist!(Enkel)
im not the biggest WWII aviation historian, but i am good with its history. when i say not the biggest aviation historian, i mean differnt variants of planes. i know the names, just not different modles and such. i will agree, germans had some kick ass tech, but they lost because hitler was foolish and invaded russia.
Why can nobody understand that the russians would have invaded Germany and the rest of europe anyway. What do you all think the cold war was about?? The entire british and american military had to spend 50 years stopping the russian invasion of europe AFTER the demise of hitler, so you can hardly blame him!! I suppose the "cuban missile thing" north Korea, and vietnam were all hitlers fault too?? The only thing that stopped the russians was that they ran out of money thanks to ronnie reagan.
The final model was the Fw190-D aka 'Dora' Inline engine (did about 440mph max). Then developed from this was the Ta-152 for high altitude - an awesome plane (but they made about 100 and few saw action at all)
The Germans had some amazing technology.. most of which was later used by the US, the Russians and the Swedes.. to name a few! Many German designs later flew in other guises, just slightly re-designed.. Just don't call people assholes for no reason, where is your sense of humour?? :)
I suspect this is not an FW-190, which had a RADIAL engine, when clearly in the video an inline engine is recovered. (Unlesss it was some prototype, unlikely).
id love that job digging up the past. you have something valuable in your hands that hasnt seen the light of day for years. youre the first one there to unravel it.
Check out the developements at Flugwerk Germany! They've got a newly built FW190D9 doing a enginetest program as we speak! Presumably the Dora will be sold in an airworthy condition to a well known collector somewhere ai Kissemee in the US Florida.
Nope, the Allison-engined Dora is owned by Tom Blair. Currently it is disassembled and getting a complete inspection of all systems before any flight testing begins.
they didn't restore it, the original is in the broken wings museum, they're building a replica of this FW190D using as much "white 3" parts as possible on it ;)
Thank You!

Did those motors use castor oil?

You're thinking of WWI planes. Rotary engines used castor oil. WWII planes used regular lubricants even though they still burned oil.

Your adding to the knowledge of history.

Check out the developements at Flugwerk Germany! They've got a newly built FW190D9 doing a enginetest program as we speak! Presumably the Dora will be sold in an airworthy condition to a well known collector somewhere ai Kissemee in the US Florida.

Nope, the Allison-engined Dora is owned by Tom Blair. Currently it is disassembled and getting a complete inspection of all systems before any flight testing begins.

Allison? Now that I think about it that makes sense. I wish I could see her fly.

they didn't restore it, the original is in the broken wings museum, they're building a replica of this FW190D using as much "white 3" parts as possible on it ;)
