Notes:

This plane was supposedly produced by Erla Maschinenwerke GmbH Leipzig and got the serial number 1407. It was delivered to the Luftwaffe on 28th November 1939 and was used by II./JG 77, also above Norway. Later in war, the Bf 109 had to land on a frozen lake on peninsula Kola, where it sunk as the ice melted. After its recovery in 1993, a red "5" was found on the right side of the fuselage, but also a black "2" on the left side. This made it obvious, that the plane was used by more than one unit.
