Re: Bf-109G wrecks

In a nutshell, those are refurbished Bf 109 G-6 found in the Eastern Berlin suburb airfield Adlerhof-Johanistal, photographed by Evgueni Khaldei in May 1945. Khaldei is world renowned for his shot of the Soviet flag hoisted on the Reichstag.

As for the machines he depicted, there are two Erla built Bf 109 G-6 W.Nr 410285 and 412605, two WNF Bf109 G-6 W.Nr. 20584 and W.Nr. 21131. The last identified one is MWG Györ built G-6 W.Nr. 760070.

To my knowledge, there are five photos in this rare set, not only because of the subject but also for its quality. Three can be found on the russiainfoto.ru website.

Cheers
Marc
