Re: BF 109 G-6 Wr 162768
I think 28 September would be about five weeks after the area was liberated! Are you sure about that date?

On 29 March 1944 a ferry flight of the 162 764 (RU+OZ) to Italy ended at Samedan near St. Moritz. Ofhr Hirtes of 2.(Süd)/Fl.Ü.G. 1 had come off course and the fuel was getting low. The 162 767 (Stab I./JG 77 black < -) was lost on 26 April 1944 after a mid-air collision near Caselle/Turin. The pilot Ofhr Siegfried Kraus parachuted and was injured.

Re: BF 109 G-6 Wr 162768
Bonjour Gilles ,
The small village where the plane fell, is called MERVILLE and is located in the department of Eure, Normandy. It is located about 2.5 km south-east of St-André de l'Eure and about 12 km west of Marcilly La Campagne which were Luftwaffe airfields in 1944. I continue looking for info and clues. Merci de ton aide Gilles . Regards |
