Bf 109 G-10 130 xxx Batch

Hi guys

Many thanks for the information posted earlier. So it appears that the loss list entry for Woitke might be correct and that he possibly was flying one of the very few DB 605 AS powered Bf 109 G-10 fighters on his final mission. The only way to make sure would be to come across a list of Erla production plans that would specify which aircraft received which engine if such exists. Oberst, here are the losses of Bf 109 G-10 fighters suffered by 15./JG 27. I hope that you find this useful for your purposes.

26 November 1944: Unteroffizier Jakob Bäuerle of 15./JG 27, killed in Bf 109 G-10 (W.Nr. 490 407) in aerial combat, crashed in Lastrup/Vechta area, 100%

23 December 1944: Oberfeldwebel Heinrich Bartels of 15./JG 27, killed in Bf 109 G-10 "Yellow 13" (W.Nr. 130 359) in aerial combat with P-47 fighter, crashed at Villip near Bad Godesberg, 100%

Horrido!
