Werner Mölders Me 109 f 1:48 scale

[Adrian]

Very nicely done and a good eye for detail!

The German Wehrmacht of the Third Reich and the Bundeswehr of the Federal Republic of Germany both honoured him by naming two fighter wings, a destroyer and barracks after him.

Nicely done model! I'm not certain about the destroyer or barracks, but Molders name was discontinued as a named FRG Geschwader in early 2005 due to his involvement in the Spanish Civil War -- a political concession made by the FRG on an anniversary of German involvment in the SCW.

Werner Mölders re-established grave site (1991) in the Invalidenfriedhof Berlin


The Invalidenfriedhof, where Mölders is buried, lay in East Berlin and in 1975 East German officials ordered all the graves leveled. After the 1990 German reunification, Mölders' grave was rebuilt and rededicated on 11 October 1991 by Mölders' school friend and Domherr of the St. Hedwig's Cathedral, Heribert Rosal. The ceremony was witnessed by guests from the United States, Great Britain, Austria, Spain and Hungary.<SUP id=cite_ref-65 class=reference>[65]</SUP><SUP id=cite_ref-66 class=reference>[66]</SUP>
