Hello Rick,
Verlustmeldung Gen.Qu. from 2 August 1943 No.44: 30.7. III./JG 11 Feindflug Ort: Nördlich Deventer, Ursache: Feindbeschuß Bf 109 G-6 15534 gelbe 3 90% F Lt Gerhard Hollmann vermisst. Correction from 18 August 1943 ll): Lt Hollmann gefallen. JFV Teil 10/III: 30.7.43 9./JG 11 Lt Gerhard Hollmann + Luftkampf, Absturz nördlich Deventer, 90% Bf 109 G-6 15534 gelbe 3+I. A Bf 109 G-6 with Rüstsatz R6 (gondola-mounted MG 151/20) was a G-6, no G-6/R6. The installation of a Rüstsatz did not result in any change in the aircraft's designation. Regards Leo |

Re: Info and pictures needed... BF-109G-6/R6 Lt. Gerd Hollmann - Werknr. 15534
Hello Rick,
90% is the damage percentage - in German: Bruchprozente - as assessed by the reporting unit. The German definition: 81-99% = Totalschaden, auf eigenem Gebiet abgestürzt 100% = Totalverlust (über See oder über feindlichem Gebiet). In JFV Teil 10/III page 7 is a photo of a Bf 109 G-6 yellow 3+I, probably the 15534. Regards Leo |

As I live near the crash location I think about planning a small search. The area where this plane crashed was changed a lot over the last years but I hope to find something! To be continued... :-) |
