Re: eBay: a Stab JG27 Bf109.. with Stab emblem??
Sidney, I am sure it is snow we see and not recently fallen "new snow" but what remains from a layer reduced by thaw. It is correct that the first snow came in October 1941 in Russia. It can be that the photo in post #2 was the first taken while the trees still had leaves and the one in post #1 taken later, after the snow came.....and melted away. I can't say for sure which unit the Bf109F belonged to but JG27 is of course a hot candidate. By the way, wasn't it so that Wolfgang Schellmann baled out of his stricken Bf109E-7 (W.Nr. 4189) <<+ after being rammed by a Russian I-153 biplane by Lt. Kuzmin of 127IAP/11SAD? So that rather nicely belly landed Bf109F is not Schellmann's Bf109E-7 which would also have not been in such good condition after hitting the ground pilotless. See Black Cross Red Star Vol.1 by Bergström & Mikhailov.
