The original central instrument panel of "Wulfe Hound", a B-17F of the 303 bomber group that had made a forced landing in the Netherlands in December 1942
It was the first B-17 captured intact by the Luftwaffe and was thoroughly used by them to better assess weak points of the "Flying Fortress".
This panel was found with other aircraft parts close to Berlin around 2009, during a cleaning operation carried out by the army.
