Re: New Me109 Wreck Discovered. ** Some Graphic Content

I agree with Boncazonk, that the greenish fluid is coolant. I was a deputy coroner for 9 years and have dealt with human remains is many different conditions. There is no anatomical reason for that color fluid to be related to humans. As far as a 'Farbbeutel', I have never heard of that being used by fighters. The fluid's appearance is definitely glycol IMHO.
OK, perhaps coolant (I never said it was human fluid), but I have seen this liquid also in ...a FW 190 crashsite whose pilot was missing (and still there).

I have personally found the (empty) bag of a Farbbeutel, without noting colored liquid (soil was quite dry), on another FW 190 (whose pilot was killed). And yes, it was individual equipment.

Up today, I have managed 11 recoveries (not for "business" or looting, just for historical purpose, a goal which becomes seldom... ) and attended many more but every dig brings more question than answer that why I ask.

Best regards
