Dear all,


By concidence I stumbled upon a drawing made by the Dutch resistance. It concerns an apparently crash landed German aircraft on a trailer between Arnhem and Nijmegen at 2 February 1944.
The following characteristics are shown on the drawing:
* Appearance of a Bf 109
* Emblem of JG1
* fuselage code White 5+1 (1 on red band around rear end fuselage)
* Wnr 20505 on tail
* 3 victory marks of tail, 1 RAF aircraft, 2 USAAF aircraft

I thought it would be fairly easy to figure out with these wealth of details at what date this aircraft made the crash landing. Or even to sort out which pilot may have flown this Bf 109 with regard to the victory marks.
Unfortunately the database of crashed aircraft in The Netherlands of our Study Group Air War 1939-1945 doesn't provide a matching loss.

The only one being close is an accident at 30th January 1944 at Ressen, North of Nijmegen. It concerned an unidentified Bf 109 of 9./JG1 flown by Uffz H Seynisch. However 9th Staffel didn't use white coded markings and Seynisch didn't had victories as far as I know or can look up.

So I hope somebody has clue which ties up above details with a correct date and perhaps pilot?

Thanks in advance for your effort,
Hans
