Photo Bf110-E, got a higher resulution image?

[carlmu]

The attached photo is probably taken in Pori/Finland August 8, 1941 and is supposed to be major Erich Grotn's plane M8+KC. Is there someone out there who has a high resolutin image of this one? If so, I would very much appreciate to get a copy.

Carl, if you want colour I can supply a 3MB scan of this Messerschmitt publicity photo.

I think it shows Groth's plane at Abbeville in June 1940, and it could be his Opel Olympia under the Haifischzahne.

The caption reads; "Messerschmitt Me 110 vom Haifisch-Geschwader", and the photo credit is Willi Ruge.

piero and tcolvin!
Interesting photos! If the colour photo from 1940 shows Erich Groth's plane, it must be his first M8+KC(?), a Bf110C. The plane he crashed with on August 11 or 12 in 1941 was a Bf110E-1, built between October and December 1940. It was probably also marked M8+KC and not M8+TC.
