Thanks 9-o-9!

OK, but what is that exactly?
A Bird? A "Strauss"? "Den Kopf in den Sand stecken"? And a bad word between Socken and stecken?
Strauss being pilot's name? (Got one Strauss and one Vogel in JG 4 but none of them linked with a Bf 109 K-4 ...)

Well well well; this is a true speculation I'm afraid .

Regards.
