Re: Late war Bf 109 pictures source

Hi there Gang,

A new Erla built Bf 109 G-14 shows up tonight, thanks to Batur Avgan, over on Late war Bf 109's Group, FB:

IMHO, the close-up of the tail allows to read quite clearly the last four digits of the W.Nr.: 0861. It is thus highly probable we have here W.Nr. 460861 for which I have no information so far.

As for the location, Gahro and October 1944 are clear to read. There are also two family names, probably those of the two pilots on this photo, but my Sütterlin abilities are a bit on the low side. They could read "Gr..ke" and "Terbeck" (?).

I would be very grateful for a clear deciphering of their names. This could ultimately help identify positively the unit as Fl.Pl. Gahro was a busy place then, hosting both I./JG 4 and I./JG 300 and, for the sake of completeness, also II./JG 11 though the lack of a II Gruppe bar does make it less likely. Any detail about W.Nr. 460861 would be most welcome as well.

Thanks in advance
Marc
