Thanks , Marc, for finding the solution.
Seems to work fine, now - it´s always the little things to provide a solution - but difficult to find ;-)

Hi there Franck,

Given what Jochen Prien states for this group of merry pilots portrayed, they are 6./JG 3, depicted in May 1944 at Bad Wörishofen.

Cheers
Marc

Yep Marc,

I understand ... BUT!

1/ Rotenburg - (Mombeeck)
for II./JG 3 is a good solution but obviously the photo doesn't seems to be taken in February.

2/ Bad Wörishofen?
II./JG 3 wasn't in Bad Wörishofen in May; III./JG 3 was.

3/ Sachau:
II./JG 3 was based at Gardelegen from 1/3/1944 to 7/6/1944 (all Group) ... with a detachment at Sachau, 27.4.44 - 7.6.44

Regards, Franck.

Hi there Gang,

I chanced on two interesting pics on photo-war.com which are in dire need of full captions:

IMHO, this is an Erla built Bf 109 G-14 W.Nr. 46. ... "Gelbe 4", 3./JG 52 (?), location unknown, Germany, Summer 1945. Source: www.photo-war.com. Any idea about the location and unit?

Thanks in advance, folks!
