[kaki3152]

Found this picture while going through my pictures. The info is that it was shot down on the outskirts of Stalingrad.

The markings are Yellow 1 of a Third Gruppe (JG-3,JG-52?) with substantial victory markings on the rudder.Can anyone identify?

This is one of Hans-Ekkehard Bob's Bf 109F-2s of the 9./JG 54. He belly-landed a series of these during the summer of 1941.

WNr.9207 on 23.June near Ralviliskis, listed as 100% damaged, so probably not this one.
WNr.12753 on 6.July near Trouja, 25% damaged
WNr.9151 on 15.July near Ljady, 60% damaged
WNr.12753 (again) on 18.July at Fl.Pl. Raskopolje, 15% damaged
WNr.12696 on 20.August at Fl.Pl. Wesenburg, 50 km s. Dno -- with 40% damage, not likely this one.

Hello!

The "Wesenburg" piqued my interest. It is possible that such a place indeed was 50 km south of Dno.

But if the place was Fl.Pl. Wesenberg instead then it is couple of hunderd or more kilometers NW Dno. Wesenberg is German name for town Rakvere in Estonia and there was an airfield.

Where was III/JG 54 based in August 1941?


Regards,
Kari

Lost behind the enemy lines are also listed as 100% loss.
