This was posted over at modelforum.cz by Spektor. Sadly, no source is given, but the photo is labeled as being taken at Erfurt. I cross-checked with an aerial shot from Erfurt-Bindersleben from 10 April 1945 and the location seems to be correct. Anyway, are there more photos of these planes known? I think I saw this (JG 11?) Fw 190 A somewhere else, and the D-9 should be new? Thoughts?


Cheers,
Christian

Russian archives do behold fascinating new materials, like this page compiling photos from Eastern front airfields overrun between March and April 1945.

Thank you, Marc, for this site. I found these two pictures:

At the top left what appears to be the wing of a Ju 86 P/R:

At the bottom appears to be a late model P-51 in Luftwaffe markings.

You're most welcome, Jim !

For your first attachment, I would respectfully suggest a Ju 52/3m; notice the Go 242 in the background.

The second attachment does show us Fl.Pl. Prenzlau, captured late April 1945.

Cheers

An unexpected photo from the Stadtarchiv Memmingen, taken 26 April 1945 by a former US POW which shows Me 262 A-1 W.Nr. 111705 or 111785 :

After a bit of adjustment to the shadows and highlights, it looks like 785.

Thanks Nick !

Dan O'Connnell and David E. Brown have a new W.Nr. on their shelves.
