According to the seller, these 2 photos were taken near Braunschweig:
Bf 109:

Fw 190 (sic). Looks more like the tail of a Me 410 to me:

The Bf 109 is featured in my book "Captured Eagles Vol. 1" with two sharp photos. It was used for testing the DB 605. See also here:

Ask Neil Page. He knows the buyer ... ;)

Re: eBAy: Captured german planes
 

Photos are also published in WOTBC Number 9 for post #491 upper. This is D-IWAU, Bf 109 F-4, W.Nr. 9227 at Regensberg circa 1945. It was photographed with a number of other aircraft which are also identified.

G-2/Trop "Doppelwinkel" was already in auction on eBay.de in March 2016.
But in same album we can find this, completely new photo:

"Irmgard", indeed.

In post 496: that is not a Ju 188, but a Ju 88 G-6 used by V./NJG 2 for ground attack missions. It's sister aircraft U5+NT and the story behind the V./NJG 2 Ju 88 G-6s is featured in my "Captured Eagles Vol. I" book.

Hello Roger,


There could be a number of reasons: 1) This photo helps to complete a set of other photos of the same aircraft from different angles, 2) the person in the photo could be a relative and this could be the only known photo of him, 3) on occasion, buyers buy what they like without concern for price (for most of us, hard to believe). I recall an old photo of only an aircraft engine sitting on the ground get some bids. No other parts, people, nothing else. The relative distance meant little detail could be seen.
