Re: Hartmann Grasser 3./JG152 Bf109D-1 markings?

Hello Peter,

according to the Jagdfliegerverbände Teil 2 all three photos were taken on September 17, 1939 on the airfield Biblis, base of the I./ZG 52. This unit was renamed on September 24, 1939 in Jagdgruppe 152 (JGr 152, not JG 152!).

Photo 1: Lt Hartmann Grasser in front of a Bf 109 D-1 of the Gruppenstab, not his personal aircraft.
Photo 2: The "Winkel Dreieck" of Gruppenkommandeur Hptm Wilhelm Lessmann.

The emergency landing of Lt Grasser on September 24 near Bingen, damage 30%: Werknummer and code of his Bf 109 D-1 are not known.

Regards
Leo
