Sure, I'll do it for you. Catagorized. Might take me a while but it will be my honor to do so.

[Simon Schatz]

That would be very kind from you! Thank you!

[Marc-André Haldimann]

Great! Thanks, Oberst.

good thread, very very interesting

I'm wondering though if Erla didnt have access to RLM 83, what colour were they using? was it one of the green tinged 81 shades?

@ Rasmusson did you mention a possible book on Erla Leipzig?
If so is that in the works or planning stage, I would be very keen to see that happen (an English version) as Erla built 109s I find are the most interesting

No problem, just cross checking the W.Nr.'s and weeding out the G-14/AS's marked as G-10's right now, then onto the rest. Also, all fotos will have there properties removed, and numbered filename starting at "1" (known sources will still be credited though). This way anybody with web access from anywhere in the world will be able to view the pictures.

I guess you know this page:

Some relics could be seen

[Oberst]

nope havn't seen that site. the K-4 captioned rudder is interesting as it shows kill markings. Apparently some pilots even that late in the war were not afraid to display them.

I guess they had faith in victory Anyway- very good image of late war colors was in one old book Luftwaffe Aces, where is displayed rudder preserved in one airport.

Perhaps that was the case. As far as rudders, I'm also doing a special section on that too. broken down into 3 groups. Mtt-Reg, Erla, & WNF.
