A captured Storch for observation, I could see, but an Me109 has pretty poor ground visibility and it would be almost suicide considering Allied air superiority. All possible in theory, however. This also may have also been a "training" unit of some kind.

I'm still looking for the reference (no luck so far). I think I read it in Max Hastings'
Armageddon but I'm not seeing it. I posted about it before here (a couple of years ago) but I have no idea in which thread.
