Re: JG 51 and 57, Helmut Lohoff

Hi Guys,

Problem or not?
Is that album a fake????
- Don't understand the link between Lohoff and JG 2/132.
- Rote 12 picture was available well before.
- All D-1 are depicted - see Bert Hartmann site - in JFS 2 in 1941. OK, why not before of course, but.. JFS 2 was formed in January 1940 well after Lohoff became flieger. And we know, for example through some eBay pictures we got recently - that Jagdfliegerschule Schleissheim did bear very different kind of markings.
- The D-1 picture on test, front view is a well known picture.
- Last, WNr.1078 is attributed to another pilot - Hauck, Friedrich. Lt. here http://www.me109.info/display.php?a=e&fid=2939

Exactly the same picture with the same hand writings on it, though the Hauck victory stood on 6 September 39 while it's writen May 40 on the picture.
By the way JG77 still wore 39 camo in May 40? The answer is NO!

So the question is:
Is that album a fake?
Or
Did Lohoff make an album with others' pictures? Hence another kind of fake.

4700 USD!!!!!

Cheers, Franck.
