Messerschmitt Bf 109 E Wnr 1572

Good morning everyone

can some one shed some light on the history of this A/C ?
For instance, its birth: where and when was it built ?

We already know that it was damaged 35% on 29.8.1942 at Vragenburg, when belonging to Luftzeuggruppe Belgien/Nordfrankreich and again 35% on 5.3.1943 at Laleu;
we know that it crashed on 31/1/44 as "Red 5" in the South West of France killing its pilot K. Kisslinger,
we know that some records show that it was destroyed on 22th September 1941 over Perekop/USSRon but it seems that it is a typing mistake.

Anymore info is welcome.
Thanks a lot
Gilles

W.Nr. 1572 should be an E-3 built by Erla in April 1940 (part of a batch of 501 aircraft in the 1074 - 1574 block constructed by Erla between August 1939 and April 1940). Hope this helps!
