Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Hi there gang,

and again a new riddle to solve: I just found those three pics on Historical-media.com' latest online auction:

As I don't see the air scoop under the left windscreen, I tend to think this might be a G-5/AS. Notice the total lack of any markings and the highly waxed and polished finish conferring a dark hue to the plane's camouflage.

Though not as dark, this machine makes me think of Oblt. Manfred Dieterle's Bf 109 G-6/AS W.Nr unknown "Grüne 5", 2./Erg. JG 2, photographed at Ludwigslust in December 1944 and then again in May 1945 at Hagenow-Land.

Any ideas as to where? And which unit?

Thanks in advance
Marc
