Well sprayed family name in the departement and around ...
At first I did look for numbers around 1656xx, but enlarging on 1655.. and 1657.. it appears that II./JG 53 was fighting during August 44 in St. Quentin area with one lost at La Fère, nearby St. Quentin, and others around, more southern, the same day.
1/ I was a little bit preoccupated with the word "mountain" in that area, but a hill will be enough.
2/ I'm not worry about a link between Merlebach and some unit close to it. This is just a fin in Merlebach Military Museum. The owner lives in this area; that's all.
I agree with Merlin first post about the period, summer 1944, but it's just a trail. After all it is said January 1945; we cannot evacuate this point as easily as it seems.
