Re: Bf 109 G crash landed at Crémont Ardennes, late 1944
Hallo Horst und Norbert!

Many thanks for your inputs! The plane really looks fresh from the factory and I can't make out any tactical sign...
My best bet would be a Bf 109 G-14; the wavy camouflage line along the wing leading edges points to an Mtt Regensburg built machine in the 780'000 - 783'000 W.Nr range.

Please beware: the plane crash landed in the Argonne area, not in the Ardennes as stated - wrongly - in the title.
As for the pilot being killed, look at the Erlahaube: totally smashed. Maybe the pilot was beaten to death by locals?

Thanks again
Marc
