Hello, here is a wheel that was found. It is believed to be from a German fighter plane that crashed in 1944. Thank you.

Hi,
This is certainly the German tailwheel (or Sporn in German). This is the usual pressure cast alloy type and this size with the 350x135 tyre is usually fitted to the Bf 109 G-4 and later versions and many Fw 190 and other aircraft.

Eng
 
350 X 135 is possibly Bf109G4 & K4 , Bf110B ,FW190 ,Hs126 ,Ju87B
It is not possible that it was used on a Henschel Hs126 as they used 350x153 rear wheels. I have attached pages 56 & 57 of the official maintenance manual for the Greek Henschels (type Hs126 K-6).
