Note the distinctive shape of the patches on the fuselage side, under the windscreen, they're the same as on Worthpoint photo, which, considering the worse condition of both the 109 and 190, may have been taken during in fall 1945 or even later.

The D-9 is of course 'Weisse 12' W.Nr. 600xx6 (600646?) discussed here some time ago.
Maciej,

I concur, thanks for your input. Fw 190 D-9 W.Nr. 600646 was found at Babenhausen according to A.I.2 (g)/131/I Air Min. In the same location we have also three Bf 109 G-14's (W.Nr. 413723, 781292 and a "400232" which is clearly an error). Location for this shot is thus probably Babenhausen.

Cheers
Marc
