mystery D-9
Parabellum posted a D-9 tail http://i6.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/b2/0b/57de_1.JPG
Its WNr. Under Photoshop is 212 152. The QmG records show this as follows:
Fw 190D-9, 212152, Markert, Uffz. Hans, II./JG 6, 22-Mar-45, Injured in Bauchlandung due to engine trouble., Lfl.6/Einsatz Osten, Gen.Qu.6.Abt. (mfm #12); Gen.Qu.6.Abt.-BA-MA Signatur RL 2 III/1199, p.90, Groß-Lieskow, 30%
However, this location cannot be as it’s near Cottbus, captured by Soviet troops on 23-Apr-45. But, that is an American officer and there’s snow, indicating late winter. The 3rd Army got into northern Czech., but that’s a long way from Cottbus. Any ideas?
