While Michael Balss added (Eifel/Lüttich) in his Place/Location column … Which is quite far from the place the machine has been found.

Again, and last: left the machine has been found in a quite good state according the circumstances of this lost and we just wait Matti to add a word concerning the data he kept as seen above.
Because, effectively it is probable the pilot escaped alive of this crash …

Franck,

Somehow this story rings a bell : I remember having read in this forum the terrible story of a Jagdflieger and his Bf 109 G-14 he managed to crash land in a clearance in the woods in December 1944, only top be discovered dead in his cockpit by forestry workers in February 45... Could this be the case behind this apparent mystery of Fhr. Jettner and W.Nr. 785 821 ?

Cheers
Marc
