eBAy: Captured german planes

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Thanks again, Rudi

The Bf 109 shot in Salzburg is a real gap-filler: until now, we had only one Summer 1945 partial shot

and another showing the hulk of this machine sometimes in the Winter 1945-1946 (Hildebrandt's Broken Eagles 3, p. 2):

Now we can be sure this is a 3./JG 27 machine, and probably one of the rare Erla built Bf 109 G-14/AS.

Cheers

The only Ju 88 wrecks recorded at Dijon-Longvic by the Allies were two Ju 88 G-1 night fighters (mis-identified as Ju 188, I guess because the square tail) so these picture seems to be from somewhere else.

Hi Nick,

I have got a least 3 A-4's destroyed at Dijon in 1944: WNr 2651, 3635 & 4553. Not sure where I got this info from. Can anyone confirm?

Regards,
Rudi.

It is possible that there was a further report after the one I have. Sometimes they did this when they found and examined a new dispersal area for example.

Much earlier period, airframes likely long before taken away.
Ju 88 A-4 3635 was damaged 20% in attack at Dijon in March 44
Ju FRB plane (ex KG 77) (GQM Schulen losses)

Hi Marc,

could at least one of them be a D-11? The hood in front of the cockpit doesn't have the shape of the D-9 hood. They seem to come from unfinished planes. The serial number is not yet present.

Cheers

Hello,

Post #358, does anyone else read the GI’s location on the back of several of these photos as being outside of Stotel? (53.445368 8.596309).

Thanks in advance for your input.

Respectfully,

Steve Sheflin

Dear Steve,

Either one reads "hotel" or - correctly so IMHO - Stotel, close to Cuxhaven. Thanks for pointing this out.

Cheers
Marc
