Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

For the combination of number/ unit code the Bf 109s of NAGr 14 come in mind, coded 12 + 5F and 3 + 5F ?

The first is Bf 109 G-14 W.Nr. 464 463, of FFS B 1 Kaltenkirchen, February 1945, published in D'Amico and Valentini 1984, p. 102? A close-up can be found in Bergström and Pegg 2005, p. 183.

To be more precise, that "+7" was photographed at Holzkirchen, where the pilots of I° Gr.C. of the ANR were training on the Bf 109 from November 1944 to late January 1945. In the attached photo, it can be clearly seen behind a group pf Italian pilots on the white snowy plain of Holzkirchen airfield.

If it came there from an operational unit I don't know, but it is sure that it was there with training tasks before ending abandoned in a Czeckoslovakian airfield in May 1945...

Yes, interesting to find orders relating to this in a KTB. Here's some additional info about the mentioned events (if you can read German): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiheitsaktion_Bayern

Dear Byron,

Thank you very much! On something of a side note, does the KTB give any indication as to the proportion of Bf 109K-4s in Luftflotte 6 fighter units?

Regards,

Paul

Re: Losses in the last days of the Reich

Hi Byron-,

thanks for sharing this material.
If you have time and also material from Luftflotte 7 in your treasure, I'm looking for the losses in South Germany especially from April 22nd till April 26th.
Would be great if you could provide it. If not, no problem.

Thanks in advance
