Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Marking of this D-9 is not mentioned and still unknown.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Christian,

There is nothing more in the diary of Marz, sorry, but there are a lot of losses for January and February.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Thanks John and Byron; perhaps some additional info will show up in the future.
Attached you find a photo of this aircraft's tail which was sold on Ebay years ago. The location is supposed to be Tempelhof. If this is true, then the aircraft was obviously recovered from its crash site near Cottbus and moved to the Weserflug repair facility in Tempelhof. Perhaps someone has additional photos of this airframe in its final resting place?

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Hello All,

Hi Byron, what happens with your scans?

Tschüss, Franck.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Hello for me it's OK.
...
What about that Bf 109 G-6 WNr. 78117 ?????
19/1. 15./JG 51, Braune 5 Bruch 15%.
What should I read? I already have a WNr 781118 in my list of losses. one JG 51, same period ...
Any suggestion?

Thanks. Franck.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Byron - Thanks for doing this. It's very much appreciated. 9 and 10 are identical, both being Page 1 of QU Meldung 1025. Page 2 (which should have been numbered 5378 by the British) is missing.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Byron
Thanks a lot!

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Thanks Byron,

We do appreciate the Bf 109 G-4 WNr.330366 !! on first line.

"typo" comes from "type writer";) - always human beings writing this...
And I don´t trust the classifications "G-6", "G-14" and "G-14/AS".
Concerning WNr.78117:
IMO it is helpful to list it twice-
under 781117 and 78117?, hoping one listing can be removed some day...

Hello Roland,
Good idea, never thought about that solution ... Since I know human errors I guess the guy typed two 1 instead of three; you saw I had no hesitation comparing with 781118. After a full day in February 45 and at the end of page... It's just a miracle having done this in such conditions.

As for your first sentence: Why that? I'm curious to know it.
In listing provided by Byron you have, TOO, two G-14/ASMY or "T" last letter being hardly visible in both case and he typed G-14 ASMY without slash and a huge space.
Maybe it's time to have an explanation about this subtype too, no?

Regards, Franck.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

thanks Steve for the correction, here the right Nr.10 and Nr. 12. is following

Nr. 10.

Nr. 12.

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p...5/Jan45-12.jpg

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Hummmm start to be complicated ....
G-10/DY G-14/DY G-14/ASMY (again) one B 4/DY which obviously is a K-4 (WNr.331509) and a G-1, WNr.166360 !!

DY and ASMY for what ??

Thanks Byron.

PS: for both G-4 and B 4 I have an explanation: The guy in LFl 6 HQ received report from front units and never heard about K-4; so he made his own corrections, G-4 was most familar. Note too: letters T and Y are close on type writer and G is just above B.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

My dear Friend Byron,

Thanks again for continuing these posts. Of course I'm not going to say thank you every day, but feeling is the same don't worry.

Cheers, Franck.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Thanks a lot, Byron, for sharing your documents.
Regarding #7) of sheet 5555, is the WNr 491321, 491421 or anything else. Can it be read better on your original?

Dear Byron,

Are you a 100% sure?
Comparing with other typo characteristics on the same page I see a "3" on top of a "6", or the contrary. Since "6" sounds impossible (normally) ... left a "3". But can you check again please? Thank you for your help.

Regards, Franck.

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Dear Franck,

I cleaned it with photoshop, here how it looks. It seems to be a clear 4.
