Re: Bf 109 K-4 Erla W.Nr. 570379
Marc and Stig,
Prien lists Erla-built Bf 109 K-4/R6 WNr. 570362 as undergoing prototype testing. This, along with careful examination of the photo, suggests to me that the Erla-built Bf 109 K-4 in the photo with the GI’s is WNr. 570376.
Regarding possible US units that might be the source for the photo, here are four that I’ve documented so far: 2nd ID, US 1st Army; 688th TD BN; 69th ID, US 1st Army; and an unknown AAA outfit.
Respectfully,
Steve Sheflin
