Re: Me 109G-14 and FW 190S in Köthen, Germany 1945

Dobro Kuba!

Ok, the ammo box cover lifted is an excellent pointer I oversaw, so definitely a /U4. Was there any G-14/U4 subtype? The K-4 issue is a bit more nagging; I discarded this possibility because of the short tailwheel (obvious)and the seemingly small wing bulges (no clear answer). But, we should see the D/F loop ito the right of the soldier f it's a G model we're looking at. Well, nothing to be sure of, but this could point to the K-4 positioning for the D/F loop, one section behind hte G position.

It is unfortunate that so little certainty can be gained with such a sharp and high resolution photograph.

To make that point, did you notice on the the next photograph

that this seemingly formless mass of wrecked airframes in the distance does reveal very clearly a 109K-4?

Thanks for your input!

Cheers

Marc
