Re: WNr. 19850 & 410098
I personally believe that Werknr. 19850 was the aircraft that was lost on 1 December 1943, not 410098. III./JG 1 had mostly Erla built aircraft delivered in May and June 1943, and some WNF built Me-109's (G-4 and G-6). Werknr. 19850 was one of those early WNF G-6's. Uffz. Helmut Johanning was the wingman of ace Ofw. Alfred Miksch. Miksch died on 1-12-1943, Johanning survived this crash but did not survive the war. He also flew black 4, black 7 normally was flown by Fw. Josef Kehrle (at least throughout the summer of 1943).
A rebuild of Werknr. 410098 after 75% damage would not seem very likely to me, but unfortunately we can't tell for sure what exactly happened.
