ultimate fate of 2./JGr152 Bf109D-1 flown by Gefr A. Hesselbach near Sarreguemines 24.09.39 = destroyed
Attachment 9007
Hello, 1) the photos show both sides of "red 9" (Bf 109 E) of JG 51 that landed on its wheels the 28th september 1939 in french territory north of Strasbourg. It was this plane that was tested by the french. 2) The other "red 9" of JGr. 152 (Bf 109 D), shot down the 24th september by the sergent Combette of GC I/3, was destroyed : the report says that the german pilot (Hesselbach) took is chute to save is life. The report says that the plane felt "côte 392 à 1500 au NO de Rimling). I never saw a photo of this wreck, and I am sure that this plane was not tested by the french. Please forgive my basic english.
