But truly nice album.

Salut Franck,

Even withought hi res downloads, the detailed pictures of the Bf 109 G-6/AS being serviced are without known parallels so far... And what about the undercarriage retraction tests? Such scenes for this late war period were only known through Veltro's excellent book up to now ;-)))

Cheers
Marc

Oui oui oui,
I agree with you. Hence a pity...and what about that tail full of victories? Think the pilot is not a John Doe, is he? Any clue?
Cheers, Franck.

I believe the pilot is Otto Schulz, look at the size of the hole in the fuselage!

Hi GRM,
Oh, that one? I would say yes, but only one "Balken"? At what time? Any registration for that "accident"?
Thanks, Franck.

Yes, only one vertical bar. This is likely WNr.10140 (damaged 40% by Flak, Tmimi) 4.June 1942.

There's photo from Emmert's collection in Prien, Stemmer, Rodeike & Bock's _Die Jagdverbaende der Deutschen Luftwaffe 1934 bis 1945_, Teil 8/I, page 260, photo #258. There is an error in the caption, there's only one vertical bar aft of the Winkel. Oblt. Schulz stands aft of the hole.

There's a photo of the abandoned fuselage of page 144 of _Luftwaffe Colours, Volume 4, Section 2, Jagdwaffe - The Mediterranean 1942-1943_.

Kennkarte have subtitle in English???? Images are great!!!

Re: Outstanding JG 27 Photo album with pics until late 1944!
 

Somehow I get the impression this "album" is made up from original parts but is not an original album.
Much is lacking which would characterise a WW2 album such as written captions and descriptions, the rim of the photos, etc.etc.
Remind me somehow of of "Hitler´s Diaries"...

Roland

Merci Marc.
Cheers, Franck.

Hallo Roland,

Having had an genuine WW II Photo album in my hands of an 1943 deceased U-Boot crewmember, I can only testify that the first few pages of his album had some very sketchy captions, and the large majority of the pictures were captionless because glued after his death but still during wartime by his grieving family.

Maybe we have a similar case here?


Franck: volontiers!

Cheers
Marc

Re: Outstanding JG 27 Photo album with pics until late 1944!
 

Right! We can suppose, too, this "Kennkarte" has been done after the end of the war. The pilot(? if it's the same person) being in civil dress on the picture and there is no "Reich" or "Nazi" symbol on this card. It's a "war album" including personnal belongings.
Where did II./JG27 surrender? Western or Eastern part? Finaly this man was lucky enough to end in one piece on the "good" side.
Cheers, Franck.
