Thank you Lino,

were there only fighter-pilots in training in II./Jgr.Süd?
In another forum I got the information that Wnr. 15630 had made a belly-landing at Monchy Breton on the 18.10.43. The plane belonged to III./JG26.
Are there any information about this crash? Pilot,....?

This is a picture of Lt. Hermann Schmidt.

I've got a photo of Hermann out of his time at JG 104.
There is a letter of the indentification.
Is it possible to indentify the Bf-109?

Hi Schalabeer,

Looks like a Bf 109E but since the fuel refueling hatch is just under the cockpit must be a Bf 109 B, C or D.
Early camouflage ... Sure 100% it's JG 104? I doubt, but it's just my thought.

I'll be back 'cause I think - quite sure - that photo was in auction in a group or in a photo-album ...

Regards, Franck.
