Hi Guys,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-Photo-R...item19e50747a2

With date, 4-Dec-44, and local, Mansbach, from where this “caption” has been written, and Scherpenseel, where the crash occurred, on picture's back:

One match?:
Bf 109 G-10; WNr.490377 (correct WNr. 490 373); "Blaue 17"; shot down by AA fire; 16/JG 4 flown by Uffz. Heinz Hook (+), 100%, Aachen area. ???

Given date for the loss is different: 3/12 instead of 4/12, but as I wrote upper 4/12 is the day when the photo’s caption has been written from Mansbach (or Mausbach better, 17km East of Aachen). The GI had other things to do but to run behind his shot on 3/12 !!!

And Scherpenseel is just 19km North of Aachen which matches with loss data “Aachen area”.

Questions:
- No Gruppe marking ?? Some hadn’t.

Regards, Franck.
