Re: Photos 6-7

An interesting Bf 109 in http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=150130215191: a "5" behind the fuselage Balkenkreuz and what looks like an infantry close-combat badge by the cockpit.

Also, for the non-German speakers, the document (signed by a Head Forester) at http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=170119327512 recounts how American troops occupying a German village in April 1945 ordered the local people to bury the crew of a crashed Ju 52 (including two Luftwaffe men and three female auxiliaries). The bodies were identified, the photos show the wreck and there's a memorial card for one of the dead men which says he died returning from a mission.
