Thanks very much Ed for you (ongoing) effort to provide us with these interesting links.

Maybe I'm wrong but I can't remember seeing this emblem before. Anyone has some more info about it?

Dear Ed,

Thanks again for your excellent picture selection.

This one caught specially my attention. The US personnel sitting in the cockpit of the Bf 109 G-10 (note the "D" painted atop the DB 605D engine) is set against a pile of Bf 109 unfinished fuselages which strongly reminds me of this picture, posed by WW2vet on flickr:

This second pic was discussed in this thread:

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=17708

According also to other pics published by Hideki Nori in his excellent book "LO+ST", the location could be Wertheim. The time frame for those two pics can be quite precisely put in autumn 45 or winter 45 - 46, judging by the leafless trees. Maybe thus another piece of information to add regarding this still to be identified assembly line which was run in a tunnel, apparently quite close to Wertheim... For an alternate location close to the Bodenwöhr forest assembly line (Waldwek), see also the new tread over at LEMB:

Hi Gents, Salut Marc.

Clearly! See the "said" wavy camouflage patern.
This one too, we can see a AS supercharger, or am I drunk as usual? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=270482892542

Last:
As "Usual" too I'm suffering a WIPS (Wrong IP Syndrom) for the following pictures:

Salut Ouidjat,

Thanks for your confirmation! Odds are yourenot drunk today ;-))) as I can also see the tell tale supercharger with bulged engine bearer!

As for the usual politcally correct blindness, I managed to overturn it by checking directly all items sold by joescollectibles on e-pay. There you can see all pics on a preview mode, with no restriction .-)))))))))))))).
For your convenience, here is a direct link:

For me too! Houuraayyy!!!

As for the Waldwerk assembly line question, check again over at LEMB, Matthias provides a wealth of new informations and a great picture taken in December 1944 at Cham - Michelsdorf, showing a wingless BF 109 G-10 or K-4 parked outside a restaurant in the old town... Lovely!
