Hi all - my first post here...

Maybe I have some info about the location "Grafenwöhr"- some 10km away from Grafenwöhr there was a Messerschmitt factory for the final assembly of Bf 109 fighters like the G-6, G-14 and K-4. The factory was situated at Vilseck airfield close to Heringnohe village halfway south from Vilseck to Grafenwöhr.

The parts for the Messerschmitt fighters were fabricated by surrounding subcontractors and prisoners from the nearby Flossenbürg concentration camp. A factory from a schoolfriend´s father was involved in the production of 109 wings and as a boy I still could see there fences manufactured from Messerschmitt wing´s profiles.

After the final assembly the 109s were transferred to Amberg-Schafhof airfield and handed over to Luftwaffe personnel.

So I´m rather sure this particular plane was photographed at Vilseck-Heringnohe airfield or at Amberg-Schafhof.

Thanks for your attention

Roland
