Me109 E crashed near Lourdes on 11 November 1944

[gilles collaveri]

Hi gentlemen,

would any one of you have information about a Me109 E that crashed near the city of Lourdes (south west of france), on the Hautacam mountain ?

Pilot was killed.
Aircraft Type is 100% sure due to data plates found on site.
This aircraft most likely belonged to JG101 based in Pau or Tarbes at the time.

This event took place on 11 november 1944 (local testimony);

I must say I have a doubt concerning the year (not the day) because the german troops retreated in August 1944.

So, this crash may have actually taken place on 11 november 1943, I have a doubt.

can you help ?

Thanks in advance
