Dears
My team found near Stettin wrack of Fw-190 or Bf-109 .
We think that probably will be Bf-109 by the way we think that pilot could be from:
JG-3 Jagdgeschwader 3 -

or
SG-1 Schlachtgeschwader 1 (Stettin-Altdamm) -
http://www.asisbiz.com/Luftwaffe/Sch...chwader-1.html
Fighter was crashed beetwen (germ.:Karsbach) and germ. Hinzendorf) - present in Poland.
First of all me must id type of aircraft (full details) - was a lot of versions for: FW-190 as here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Fw_190 or Bf-109
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Bf_109)
So it is not so easy.
After first studies we have some hypothesis:
It probably could be ( acc. to photo with name : Bock):
Bock, Hans Ofw IV(Sturm)/JG-3 Fw 190A-8 Werk # 682940 (lost
