Re: Bf 109 G identity seeked

Hi all,
in Revi magazine No.44 there is a collection of photos showing at least three Bf 109s with those white triangles on their rudders. They were found at the war's end in Hodkovice (Liebenau near Reichenberg) and the authors attribute them to III./EJG 1. Apparently this speculation is based on the geographic area and the difference in marking style compared to NAGr 15 (then based at Liberec/Reichenberg).
But even after a quick check some conflicting facts come up. For once, Martin Holm's site sees II./EJG 1 in Liebenau, not III./EJG 1. Secondly, the marking styles of "Black 17" at Fürth and "White 12" at Kassel are different to each other too.
So not much clarity here, but perhaps a small puzzle piece that will lead to a solution.

Regards,
Christian
