Re: Bf-109 G-1 in Stalingrad

What makes you think it is from a G-1? There is no evidence of it being from a pressurized cockpit, and the rear armour mounts are standard G.

In addition...

MANY canopies survived when a pilot bailed out of an aircraft. I have found near PERFECT canopies, with only cracked plexiglass and some dents...that were FAR away from any airfield.

It was most likely scavenged and buried.
