Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

Hello Steve & Steve,

Thank you for your feedback and information about the Fliegerzielgeschwader 3. Babenhausen was very close to Frankfurt (ca. 25-30 km). The I. and II. Gruppe were disbanded in September 1944, but the III. Gruppe was only disbanded in Feb 1945 when it was based at Schongau (according to ww2.dk), which was between Munich and Switzerland and not so close to Frankfurt.

Could it be that the HW5/569 record referred to the transfer of I./FZG 3's Hs 129s to another unit at Babenhausen since I./FZG 3 was going to be disbanded in September 1944?

Regards,
Roger
