Re: Gordon Gollob's ME109G?

Guys, I found some footage of Gollob in Die Deutsche Wochenschau, dated 8 July 1942. Starts at around 17 minutes in.

I presume it's an F model? His 101st victory as mentioned in the footage was on the 20th May so it took the film makers just over a month to publish the film it seems.

Just thinking out aloud but maybe the reason why there are no official photos of his 150th celebration was because the propaganda film crew had already been to film him in May and he was posted off operational flying in October?

Der Alder has got him on the cover of the September 42 issue but there are no additional photos.
