Hello Ed,
This is the Bf 109 F of Oblt. Kurt Sochatzy, 7./JG 3. The same photo has been published on p.117 in Luftwaffe Colours ,Jagdwaffe Vol 3 sec 2, 'Barbarossa'. Photo to have been taken in France before departure to participate in operation 'Barbarossa'.

This is most probably SE+HU which made a forced landing in Sweden on April 14, 1940, with crew Fw. Walter Dettmann (FF), Fw. Georg Schwenkhuster and Ogfr Hans Höller. The crew was interned but returned to Germany in May or June 1940.

Several Ju 52-3m made forced landings in Sweden in connection with the invasion of Norway and this aircraft was one of them. It carried the emblem of FFS(C) 8 belonging to KGzbv 1 at the time of the invasion of Norway and Denmark. and allegedly had black painted wing under sides. This Ju was returning to Germany from Norway when it lost orientation and had to land in Sweden when the fuel ran low.
The aircraft was returned to Warnemünde, flown by a Swedish AF crew on 2 September 1940, temporarily registered with Swedish civil registration SE-AKT and marked ‘Schweden’ on the fuselage as seen on the photo.
Would be interesting to know if this photo was taken at Warnemünde. The backdrop does not match the few photos I have seen taken of this Ju while in Sweden.
