Prototype Bf 109V35 D IWAU WNr 9227

Would tie in with the test activities at Volkenrode? More on the Bf 109V35 here:

Looks right...kept his history quiet except when he was dying slowly of C. Talked about France during the Battle of the Bulge along the narrow muddy roads and his foot being stuck in a rotting corpse, horses blown up the size of elephants and popping..liberation of Ghent twice and Belsen. Silent hero.

Ditto my Grandfather. In my experience, most who experienced the horrors of war are reluctant to let the memories out.
