Re: 2/12 - Bf109s on eBay

Hi there,

Some corrections for #8:
As you can read, given caption is "saying" 10/6/40 b./Verdun which I read "bei Verdun".
This is not the first picture of this plane and a thread was dedicated to it in LEMB. From this former discussion I kept: " 6./JG 54, Autumn 1940"!
With that last picture it's not JG54 anymore but 3./JG76.
Boos is not "bei Verdun" since there are Five cities with that name: two in France, in Landes and in Seine-Maritime "bei" Rouen, and four in Germany. By far from Verdun area!...

One of our friends mailed me that could be in fact the JG76 Bf109 lost on 14/5/1940 "bei" Sedan (80km between Sedan & Verdun) and cited by Prien in BoF chapters.

Left the WNr. question...

Any thoughts?

Regards, Franck.
