Better if it is both, no? RK and group Hauptmann Eckerle, Franz * 24.04.1912 Baden-Baden + 14.02.1942 bei Woronovo/Sowjetunion Ritterkreuz am: 18.09.1941 als: Hauptmann Funktion: Staffelkapit?n 1./JG 54 82. Eichenlaub am: 12.03.1942 als Hauptmann Kommandeur I./JG A terrible ending to Eckerle's story... http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/soviet_petrukhin.htm * Eckerle was flying in the Bf109F-2 WNr.9728, CH+OP, <<+ Schwarz when shot down

As Lt * As a note, when I bought the group 90% of the photos were missing, the owner told me that Kurt H. kept them but .......... it is not because you have fins and make "couak couak" that you are a duck

As I am moving it, after 20+ years of collection, I would like to take the opportunity to share some pics with you as I already have done on another forum. More than my money, I have put my guts, time and energy to get a proper collection, items I am pleased with and don't have question nor doubt about. I hope you will enjoy seeing the pics like I enjoyed having the items. Most (if not all) are LW items related to flying units, some, as it was my quest, belong to groupings. Don't hesitate to ask question about the items (maybe I can answer), there is no special order in the pics Clearly, even if originals, for the purpose of the pics, items which don't belong to the same groups have been put togeter, again for the purpose of the picture and to show how things "could have been".
