Another unpublished image, scanned for this blog. This beautiful Alsatian is the photo subject rather than the slightly out-of-focus Trägergruppe 186 Emil in the background. Note the Hakenkreuz across the rudder hinge line. The leading edge slat is deployed. Photo from the album of III./JG 77 mechanic Schramme and taken during the winter of 1939-40.
