Bf 109 G crash landed at Crémont Ardennes, late 1944

[Horst Weber]

Good evening Marc-Andre !

The scene looks looks like in the early stage of the Ardennes-Campaign. The dates could be December 17th or 19th 1944, maybe December 23rd is possible. The aircraft looks all-in-all intact and no parts looted for souvenier and other purposes, which you often see in fotos, taken in January/February 1945 and later in the Ardennes by allied troops and civilians.

Best wishes !
