Puzzling Bf 109 of JG 53
Attached herewith is a photograph that was sent by a friend of mine having no clue of who, where and when.
It seems to depict the Bf 109 E-3 or E-4 (no ETC under the fuselage) of the Kommandeur of III./JG 53 at the time when both the "Pik As" badge was reintroduced and the swastika still obliterated, ie around November 1940. But the aircraft shows only two victory bars on the fin and this definitely cannot be Hptm Wilcke's tally. I thought this machine could have been transfered to Erg.Gr./JG 53 and used by its Kommandeur, but it seems that Hptm Kroeck had no victory at all at that time. Any hint?
