Re: Me109G-10 Dual Production Plates

Actually, Mr. Cisek, the problem is quite simple. It appears that you are not familiar with the primary RLM and Luftwaffe documentation which is available. From copies of RLM documents, it appears Neubau assembly of Bf 109 G-6s continued through February 1945 and in parallel, Reparatur of the same subtype. The records are very specific. If you look at loss lists and OOBs you will still see G-6s operational very late in the war. Took a minute and looked at the loss lists for March 1945 and found combat losses for G-6s as late as March 26 with III./JG 5, I doubt if these were the last. So, returning G-6s to service does make sense if the Luftwaffe was still using them as operational aircraft and was sustaining losses.

What does not make sense is trying to rationalize without having sufficient information to reach rational conclusions. Of course, there was a highly effective organization within the Luftwaffe to recover, salvage and repair wrecked and damaged aircraft. This AKAIK never fed back to Neubau production. If you understand or have any experience with production planning you will know many reasons why this might not have been done.

I suggest this site is a very good place to ask specific questions and receive answers from a number of people who have access to good primary data. It is not a substitute for an individual spending the time and effort to study and learn the basics from sources which are not always simple to find, but are available if one really wants to understand or make sense of the subject.

Best Regards,

Artie Bob
