Re: Unknown label from a Luftwaffe crash site
Hi!
100% that is the wreck of an Me109. There is a 100% identifiable Me109 part from the wing cooler, in the photo that has all the small wreck parts. DB601 part numbers were ALSO used on the DB605...so they were not specific only to the DB601. The green painted wood is part of the radio rack...and the camera film suggest it was a reconnaissance plane. That would also explain the lack of ammo (the Me109 was basically stripped of ammo in the photo reconnaissance versions). So with the Fern/Nah relay (FuG16Z), the MG131 component plate, and the 100% identifiable Me109 wreck part, you have an Me109 G wreck there. The FuG16Z means it would have been a mid-war Me109...so I doubt a G14 or later...most likely a G5 or G6. Mike
