Bf.109 Eismeer Front loss, help with photos.
 

Dear forum members!


The Bf.109 in these photos was lost somewhere around Murmansk or Karelia area, looking for addition information about it.

1. 1. What variant of Bf.109 is this?
2. 2. Note the circle on the right of Balkenkreuz, is this unit emblem or what is this?
3. 3. Are the circumstances of the loss of this aircraft known? Dates, pilot, unit?

I appreciate any help with these photos!


Best regards,
Alexpander
