Luftwaffe loss

[hanshauprich]

The 109 from Ofw. Schuster was either an G-6 or G-14 and fully armed. On two crashplaces from (Uffz. Klems Dez. 44 and Uffz. Windsberger Febr. 45) I found 13 and 20mm rounds. Windsbergers 109 G-6 has two Typenschilder, one with G-6 and the other one an small "Baureihenänderung" for G-8 inside the left "Motorhaubenverkleidung". This small metal card could be remove for "Wartungsarbeiten".

Ofw. Schuster wingman returned to Niedermendig and tell "Schuster attacked the Thunderbolts and was shot down". The 109 crashed in an large wooden area and he landed over US-held Luxembourg. I found no Interrogation Report from him. The "Namentliche Verlustmeldung" from NAGr. 1 tell no details about the planes.
