The ME109 is interesting, appears to still have the original paint, which makes it a most interest item indeed.
A thing I found most interesting, was the statement made by Adolf Garland, when visiting his unit, Hitler was recorded as saying, "what can I get you".
Garland was reported to have said "A squadron of Spitfires".
Post war he would never tell if this story was true, stating that it would be revealed after he died.
It turned out that not only was it said, but if Hitler had not been so desparate, he could have cost him his job.
Garland post war went on to be a leading General in German Air force, finished his flying career I believe flying the F86 Sabre.
