Me 323 in the Kurland Kessel, Romanian Bf 109, JG 54, Hs 129





.. atmospheric images of a Me 323 taken in the Kurland Kessel  (Courland pocket) during early 1945. Note the Tankwagen and refuelling operations underway. The loading doors of the Me 323 are open (below) and a group of personnel is milling around the front of the aircraft, almost certainly evacuating the Kessel. The Fw 190 to the right is probably a JG 54 machine. 




Romanian 109 above and Ro 37 below. Note the Hs 129 to the left behind the horse-drawn cart.
