Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Fols,

Again a question mark for the ongoing eerie of late war Bf 109's on Flickr:

First case: Bf 109 G-10 W.Nr. 150 816 "Schwarze 4", Langensalza, May 1945.

Is this a JG 2 or a JG 300 machine? I've read both through different posts in different forums. Any synthesis on this particular one?

Second case: Bf 109 G-6/AS "Schwarze (?) 13", JG 1 (?), shot down in Spring 1944 by 9th AF:

This photo, originally provided by Jean-Yves Lorant, is thought to be depicting the final moments of Walter Oesau's Bf 109 G-6/AS W.Nr. 20 499 "Grüne 13", I./JG 1 on 13 May 1944. Though one can recognize quite clearly a red tail band and the conspicuous all over RLM 76 camouflage typical for those Erla built "Höhenjägern", I'm at a loss, as other authors, to ascertain this was indeed Oesau's machine.

All inputs are warmly welcome!

Cheers
Marc
