So Oliver has gone on holiday and the Petrick archive sale is paused. Time for one particular buyer (no, not me!) to reflect perhaps..The image below apparently sold for well over 200 euros. Published more than once, a Rotte of 8./JG 27 including Werner Schroer's G-2 trop 'Red 1' . See for example, pages 217-220 of Jochen Prien's III & IV./JG 27. This image and the series taken on the same occasion are of course available at the Bundesarchiv; in other words the 'lucky' buyer could quite easily have purchased the whole series for a handful of euros. Not 238 !!
