..the JG 27 and 53 photos currently offered by kuestenvolk-1 on eBay are actually some more very nice sharp and clear images on offer, all hitherto unpublished, from this seller who I have not noticed before. Of particular interest are the shots showing the aircraft of Hptm. Erich Gerlitz as GrKdr. II./JG 27 ( complete with victory tally ) and Hptm. Erhard Braune, GrKdr. III./JG 27, both taken in Sicily in early 1942.
