Re: Bf 109 unit at Berlin Staaken?

Thank You all for the answers!

At the Estonian archive page they state that the original title for the photo is:

"2. Ausfertigung. Archiv Nr: 5. Autor: Kr. Kapera, Filmart, Film Nr: Ls1. Bild Nr: 1-33a. Ort: Staaken, Kauen. Text: Luftbilder Staaken nach Kauen und in Kauen selbst. Blende: versch. Objektiv: 3,5. Filter: ohne. Datum: August 1943."

Forschungsstaffel z.b.V. seems to have been scientific expedition to Baltic nature. Most of the photo series shows Estonian and Latvian nature. The first photos do show Storch flight from Berlin to Kaunas (Kauen), Lithuania.

Note also the tiled apron pavement. AFAIK no such thing in any Baltic airport then.

So it seems to be JG 25 aircraft and time is August 1943 per the original title. The alphabetic Kennzeichnen are added confirmation (Danke Jochen).

Where one can learn more about JG 25 (save the Michael Holm's site)? I have read about JG 50. How much the units had in common?

Cheers,
Kari
