eBAy: Captured german planes

[ChristianK]

David, I just did a quick search through my photo collection and found the very same style of spinner markings on Ju 88 L1+BM of II./LG 1, which was captured at Salzburg in 1945.

Another photo from the same lot as the one in post #4663 was captioned as "Naumburg" (which, in this instance, might mean the landing strip at Bad Kösen / Punschrau). One of the last airfields of II./LG 1, Pretzsch, is rather near-by. So perhaps this is an aircraft of II./LG 1? The unit code is also veeery unclear in this photo, to be honest. I would not draw any conclusions based on this one.

Cheers,
Christian

If there aren't two machines with the same damage, which I doubt, it was the White P, W.Nr.??44

Judging from the first 3 digits of the W.Nr. (BTW What do people make of it? 330975 or 330575? 330525 maybe?) aircraft could be a Ju 88 S-3. Looking at the camouflage, unit could be LG1 or possibly 3./KG66.

I make it 330925 (see attachment). If I'm correct then it's W.Nr. 330925, NN+YY, L1+IP. Completed at Henschel-Schönefeld on 20 July 1944 and delivered to II./LG 1. Lost on 18 August 1944.

Thanks Nick! Fantastic to see that there's a whole story behind such a humble Ebay photo. And impressive to see that this aircraft had a service life of just a month....Times were grim..
