Akaflieg Stuttgart FS-19 Glider Project ?

Hi,

has anyone a more info or drawing for Akaflieg Stuttgart FS-19 glider Project ?.

On 7/12/1938 the FS 18 crashed and was destroyed .
The Akaflieg whished to built as soon as possible a new high performance sailplane .
The choice was to keep the external dimensions and shapes of the FS 18 , with improvements .
The designation was FS 18b , or FS 19 .
It was never completed , for war reason …

Here the FS 18 , the FS 18b/FS 19 should not have been very different :

Thank you my dear Richard.
