Hi Gentleman,
Does anybody have information regarding the ultimate fate of this a/c?

ME109E-1 Black 5+- W.N.r 3413 Flown by Lt. Hans Krug 5-6.1940. 5/JG26.

Rgs,
Steve.

Other than the entry for Krug, I do not have this in my database. I presume this has come up because of the beautiful new photo that just showed up on Falcon's site. There is another photo of this machine in Caldwell photo book for JG 26 - and it also the cover art on the first war diary volume.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your reply, and yes your presumption is correct!!
indeed it is a beautiful photo.
Has a part of my on-going research, and with my limited access to verlust files, i wondered if anybody had a loss for this a/c, from official files that i dont posess.

Rgs,
Steve.

Hello,

A close-up shot of the scoreboard of "Black 5", W.Nr.3413, can be found here:

The Luftwaffe:From the North Cape to Tobruk 1939-1945. An Illustrated History.
Nauroth,Holger

No doubt in the original Podzun-Pallas publication, as well.

Hi KrisJG3, thanks for the photo which since my original post, has appeared in various forms numerous times.
However, i would be delighted still, to learn its ultimate fate.

Best regs,
Steve.
