Re: Did Bf109G's use Gunpods during Kursk?

Nope. These mules were born, because the Nazis sold many times just the crap planes to Hungary (worn out F-4's, for example, when their units used G-6's in the same time and area...). There were no available new DB 601 engines, that's why the knocked out old DB 601's were changed to DB 605's sometimes. In my Hungarian aces book, you'll see a nice example of this plane in a very good quality photo.
