Re: A Bf109 crashed near Benestroff beginning of 1945: see rudder

I have found only this:

"...The 29th of September and 2nd Lt. John La Fountain is flying with John Teegarden on
Armed Recce Luneville, Buccret Benestroff area. Ground Control gives the target location
–gun positions S.E. Luneville. (...)
He is conducted to the Artillery Liaison Officer and
spends the night with the artillery unit, in Luneville—two Me109’s fly overhead and
during the night the town is shelled. The next day he sees the IX Armored Force Officer,
“Exclain”, and is sent to XV Corps. ..."


- maybe one of this Bf109 was shouted down (but it was probably half of 1944) ?
